I bought several Kirkwood devices with the expectation to run Fedora on
them and would like to test it at least on a Seagate Dockstar, but the
little instructions and installer support always scared me away. For
example for Debian there are really good instructions to get the
installer running:
http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/sheevaplug/index.html

It also includes instructions to update the boot loader and supports
installing on USB, SD card and eSATA. The Fedora instructions only
mention to dd an image on a SD card on the other hand.A

Maybe Fedora ARM could reuse some of the information provided for Debian
to ease installation of Fedora ARM as well.

Till
