This is a work in progress and this commit, although it will build, is not the finished flow. It should give an idea of which way I'm heading with the revisions. I'm moving the information on preparing media to the preface, where we handle "what you need to get started." Then I am working on a decision tree in the first couple of installation chapters to make it easier for newbies to follow steps. This is a difficult process due to the multiplicity of options anaconda offers. The FC4 version was our best shot, and this one will hopefully improve on the last.
