Update of /cvs/docs/install-guide
In directory cvs-int.fedora.redhat.com:/tmp/cvs-serv13111

Modified Files:
	fedora-install-guide-bootloader-en.xml 
Log Message:
Publication edit, mainly small edits made highly visible by not filling paragraphs, broken into individual commmits.  Some notes about this review:  this is mainly content -not- XML review, although the XML looks prit-near perfect, and I tried not to tweak the XML for the XML-sake; using 'Fedora' to discuss the 'Fedora Core' OS is a little colloquial, so I tried to catch it where I could, i.e., FED -> FC ... this is akin to 'docs' v. 'documentation'; please read and comment back directly to us author/editors -or- the mailing list.
