It assumes that I have grub2.  I don't.
That is why I didn't use it.

I think you  are wrong here;
the F16 is first to use grub2, yes.
But the f16 doc says to use your *existing* GRUB boot loader,
which for your F14 is your legacy GRUB.

From the docs:
12.2. Editing the GRUB Configuration
The GRUB boot loader uses the configuration files /etc/default/grub and the scripts in etc/grub.d/. To configure GRUB to boot from the new files, add a boot stanza to /etc/grub.d/40_custom that refers to them.
A minimal boot stanza looks like the following listing:

menuentry "Fedora Linux" {
        set root=(hd0,0)
        linux /vmlinuz-install
        initrd /initrd.img-install
	}

The stanza is for grub2.
Also from 12.2:
When you are finished, run grub2-mkconfig with root privileges and open the grub.cfg file to view the updated configuration. Locate your new menu entry stanza and determine its place in the stanza order.

grub2-mkconfig is grub2-only.

So if you have the files extracted from the F16 iso
stored somewhere on your F14,
you should be able to directly use the Horsley prescription.

That is what I have been trying to do lately.
It hasn't been working.
