Comment (by soulspecter):

 In section 4.1 there is a change in the boot screen. We should note that:

 "When using Fedora Live media, press any key during the initial boot
 countdown to bring up the Boot Options menu. The boot options include:"

 In section 4.3 we should probably make note that:

 "BitTorrent Automatically Verifies File Integrity
 If you use BitTorrent, any files you download are automatically validated.
 If your file completes downloading you do not need to check it. Once you
 burn your CD or DVD, however, during the installation you should still use
 mediacheck to verify the integrity of the media."

 In section 4.5 the following should at least be added to the begining if
 not replace the current bullet points:

 "Fedora 10 supports graphical FTP and HTTP installations. However, the
 installer image must either fit in RAM or appear on local storage, such as
 the installation DVD or Live Media. Therefore, only systems with more than
 192MB of RAM or that boot from the installation DVD or Live Media can use
 the graphical installer. Systems with 192MB RAM or less automatically
 scale back to using the text-based installer. If you prefer to use the
 text-based installer, type linux text at the boot: prompt."
