Note that GNOME based Live images do not include the '''Openoffice.org''' office suite to save space. Instead they include '''Abiword''' and support for more locales. The KDE Live CD uses parts of `koffice` instead. The Fedora Live images do not support i586 class machines. To install Fedora on an i586, you must use the classic installation method.

'''Anaconda''' tests the integrity of installation media by default. This function works with the CD, DVD, hard drive ISO, and NFS ISO installation methods. The Fedora Project recommends that you test all installation media before starting the installation process and before reporting any installation-related bugs. Many of the bugs reported are actually due to improperly-burned CD or DVDs.
+ This {{{mediacheck}}} function is highly sensitive, and may report some usable discs as faulty. This result is often caused by disc writing software that does not include padding when creating discs from ISO files. To use this test, at boot time hit any key to enter the menu. Then press the '''[Tab]''' key, add the option `mediacheck` to the parameter list, and press '''[Enter]'''.

- {{{vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img ide=nodma mediacheck

After you complete the {{{mediacheck}}} function successfully, reboot to return DMA mode to its normal state. On many systems, this results in a faster installation process from the disc. You may skip the {{{mediacheck}}} option when rebooting.
