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.
I beg to differ,being a newbie doesn't disqualify you from experimenting on your computer as long as you don't destroy anything.Even if you do,it's not anybody else except family business to admonish or put down the person who has committed the mistake.And BTW,by making mistakes is how you learn.......if you don't learn from others' mistakes that is.......

I agree completely. I will rephrase my statement. new users should expect their first few installs to be disasters even with stable distros on known working hardware, until they have understood the install intricacies. I am cribbing about the author claiming to have done a large number of installs, and expecting that an unstable distro will produce the same results as the earlier ones.
