Hello,

I've just downloaded and installed Fedora Linux and I am really impressed.
I've tried to install Linux for a first time some five years ago and since
then Linux has made huge step ahead towards usability. But still, I can't
figure out some issues.

1. I've downloaded ISO images, and I would appreciate a Windows-based setup
launcher, which would save me burning images to CDs. After burning them,
I've discovered there's an install option for using ISO images on hard
drive, so the launcher would be really useful.

2. After installation, I've discovered my vfat partitions are not mounted
into Linux, and the default GNOME menu doesn't offer any disk management
tool similar to Win-XP's Disk Management Console. Well, I know how to edit
fstab, but GUI app would be safer.

3. I'm visually impaired and from the old times I know X server treats
desktop size and monitor resolution independently. It's really pitty modern
desktops ignore this fact. My favorite setting would be desktop size
1024x768 and screen resolution 320x200 - really inexpensive screen
magnification, which was running smoothly even on 486 processor.

That's all for now, I'm looking forward to finally work in Linux, although
right now my message is sent from WinXP.
