List,
One of my friend, by the name Tapas, installed Fedora 7 yesterday. The experience was something that isn't expected by a mature and quality distribution like Fedora 7.
Whatever gave you the idea that fedora is "mature". The fedora series is means of testing out stuff and then using the results in the RH enterprise whatever.
The experiences mentioned in the article (review) at the following URL by the author is almost what Tapas experienced.
http://www.linux.org/dist/reviews/fedora7.html
Though the author of this article managed to setup things on his own (/boot/grub/menu.lst etc.), Tapas had to reboot quite a few times for his boot menu to be displayed with windows.
Dont try installing if you dont know what you are doing.
Apart from that, none of the other hdd partitions were automatically detected and mounted.
This is not an intent to flame, but rather caution new users trying to install Fedora 7.
New users should not be installing anything anyway. Least of all a full blown linux distro not designed for a newbie desktop user.
