== Warning: Possible data loss when dual-booting Windows 8 ==


For those doing kickstart installs, many package group names have changed for this release.  In particular, the Base group has been renamed to Standard. This group was always implicitly added unless you used the --nobase flag in your kickstart file.  However, that option has been marked as deprecated and if you want the Standard group installed, you will need to explicitly specify it.
Using the "fast restart" feature of Windows 8 and rebooting into Fedora may lead to data loss. Files written to the Windows partition by Fedora may be deleted when rebooting into Windows 8. This may be avoided by disabling the "fast restart" feature in Windows 8.
