+Introduction
+
+
+This guide covers dual booting of Fedora, a Linux distribution built on free and open source software, with Microsoft Windows 8. This manual will help you install Windows 8 and Fedora together on a single machine. Covered in this manual will also be different type of configurations as well as covering the Microsoft Windows 8 Bootloader in detail and the options it provides, for a clean install and boot. This guide will not focus on explaining what Fedora or Windows 8 is, but provide links to their prospective sites.
