Installation
Installation is straight forward; you can follow the generic Fedora install instructions. However as the default installation came with windows and drive was not partitioned, i had to manually resize the partitions. Using the fedora installation cd, when you reach the partition section, delete partition where windows was installed. Resize it. I gave windows a 50gb partition and the rest
