There is no real difference in the install between FC4 and FC5. The only 
difference worth noting is that once you are up and running, you need to 
'su' and run gdmsetup to allow a direct boot to 'root' which is 
basically necessary to an install of the cards and their setup (modules, 
ivtv etc.) By default, in FC5, root is not allowed a graphical 
login...you are supposed to 'su' always...which is waste of time during 
setup.
