I looked briefly through this FAQ,
and a couple of points struck me.

1. I wonder if it is good advice to suggest people should use
NetworkManager to set up a network?
It seems to me that if a network does not work
after running system-config-network or whatever,
the problem is not likely to be solved by NetworkManager.

In any case, the first advice should be to use the standard tools.

Having played with NetworkManager a bit,
I would say it is more likely to confuse the issue than solve it.

2. I noticed in the same answer that it appearded to be assumed
the user was running GNOME.
That seems a mistake in a FAQ.

3. I thought the section on hardware problems was slightly misguided.
The fact is, there are many hardware configurations
where one can have problems installing Fedora
without overheating of the CPU, etc.
In fact, I would have thought problems of that kind 
were pretty rare nowadays.
