It's really not that bad. If you can get it to boot from the cdrom
drive, you have half the battle won. The days of old were full of
many a gnashed tooth, let me tell ya. Even compared to other
distributions, Fedora's install process is WAY friendly. I haven't
seen Fedora have too many problems with recognizing hardware or
anything like that. You should probably make sure you load X-windows
so you will have a desktop environment.
