Re-read that. It assumes:
A) You are installing from Fedora Core CDs, and
B) You are relying on Anaconda for your _entire_ installation
With Fedora, you can install a "minimal" system, kinda like Debian's,
and then install _entirely_ with a different method.
Or you can even boot the "rescue" system and do it from that.
There are countless options with Fedora.
But yes, Red Hat still ships that "nice and pretty" Anaconda installer
with the full CD set. But that's _not_ Fedora, that's Fedora _Core_.
That's the point you keep missing. Fedora has _lots_ of options. You
only look at Fedora Core, the CD set, which is designed _specifically_
to act like the old Red Hat Linux CD set.
