This is a Fedora 7 specific FAQ. If you are looking for general answers on Fedora, take a look at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAQ Contents
What's New in Fedora 7?
Where can I find Fedora 7 screenshots?
Are there any media references?
Where can I download Fedora 7?Make sure you read the release notes and installation guide from http://docs.fedoraproject.org for important information about new installations and upgrades.
What are the choices available?
Where can I find cover artwork for CD or DVD's?See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/CDArt
Are there Installable Live CD/DVD images?Yes. Fedora 7 provides GNOME and KDE based Live images which can be installed to hard disks and USB disks. The x86 versions are CD size images and the x86_64 ones are DVD sizes. The x86_64 also include x86 equivalents of some packages for compatibility reasons referred to as "multilib" and hence the images sizes are larger.
Are there regular installation images ?Yes. Fedora 7 includes a DVD image that has the features of a regular installation. We don't provide CD variants for the regular installation. The DVD image includes a subset of the Fedora repository which has around 7500 packages.
Are there regular installation images that include all the software available in Fedora?No. The Everything folder in the mirrors provides an installable repository but ISO images are not provided since they would be around 9 GB and not many mirrors would be willing to carry it. All installations of Fedora use the same central repository and all the packages are available via yum and front ends.
What are the differences between Live images and regular installations ?
Where can I find documentation?See http://docs.fedoraproject.org
Why are all the hard disks in my system called /dev/sdX?This is expected behavior with latest kernel provided in Fedora 7. See http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f7/en_US/sn-Kernel.html
Are there any notes on upgrading from a previous release?Yes. See http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f7/en_US/sn-Installer.html
Is it possible to upgrade to Fedora 7 from a previous release using yum?Yes. See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/YumUpgradeFaq

What are the booting options to try if my system hangs while trying to install Fedora 7?The full set of options are documented in the [http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f7/en_US/ installation guide. The following are commonly used. linux text (Text mode installation. Useful for low memory systems. Installed system will boot in text mode (run level 3) by default)

Where can I report bugs or request enhancements?You can do that via http://bugzilla.redhat.com. See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugsAndFeatureRequests for more details. Posting bug reports to fedora-list or other end user forums are not very useful for developers as they might not be able to keep track of the issues easily.

Where can I find information about creating custom spins of Fedora?
Where can I ask questions for more information about custom spins?The following mailing lists are useful for live cd tools, pungi and revisor in that order:
