Hi, Tom. :)

An "Installable Live Media" means you can boot the CD and get a complete working desktop running off that CD untill next reboot. This is where you can "test drive", and it won't touch your hard drives and the existing installation. I guess it isn't explained because the term "live media" is pretty common among the GNU/Linux distros. However, your email has shown the need for an explanation to be put on the site. I'm sorry that it made you wonder.

It isn't very vague if you boot that CD you make. Besides that it's a good chance to play with an authentic GNU/Linux desktop and to see what Fedora is like, there would be an icon by clicking on which you may install it if you like. To my mind, live media is pretty much fun, and I hope that you give it a try.
