Hi there.
People can only "look before you leap" if they are presented with
enough information to make an informed choice.
I have no CD/DVD drive and no other machine.
After reformatting my hard disk twice, trying to copy the DVD image
to a hard disk partition to boot off it and eventually using VMware
server to boot off the ISO and install to a physical hard disk, I
wish I hadn't started.
Another great option would have been to try LiveUSB with persistence
on a $10 2GB USB stick. With LiveUSB and persistence you can even
install/upgrade RPMS. Very safe and easy way to try a new Fedora
without risk.

If I had a laptop that could boot of USB drives then you would be correct.
I have a 2002 Dell Inspiron 8000.
If only computer manufacturers open-sourced their BIOS software I could
add USB boot capability to my Flash BIOS and be good to go...(TODO).
Yes it may be getting on a bit now but not many laptops sport a
1600x1200 display!
