Hi,
I've been learning about Drupal 7 on a CentOS install and it is more
convenient to use it on my F14 box for learning purposes. The install
was just a yum command, but I'm accustomed to finding and running the
install.php file to configure it. When I start an instance of firefox
as root and browse to that file I don't get the expected install
screen sequence but rather some ascii gibberish. Also the file
location is in /usr/share rather than as I would have expected in a
folder off /var/www/html.
Is there a reference for D7 in Fedora? There's no man page. I have a
couple of D7 books, it's the Fedora-specific bits I'm having trouble
with.
Advice much appreciated.

This was fun for me to figure out as well. Drupal 6 is what is in the F14 respositories,
not Drupal 7 (unless there is a package name extension which differentiates between the
two -- "yum install drupal" installs Drupal 6). Here are a few links that may
clear things up a bit:

Note that these are installations for Drupal 7 from
drupal.org, not from the yum
repositories for F14, as the repositories do not carry D7. This means you have to pay
attention to the report panel inside Drupal and keep up with updates on your own (which is
less fun than using yum update, obviously, but not hard).
