Hi Bonnell,

I am using Fedora -22 right now.  What I did though was use Fedora-22 
live to set up an operating sysdtem and software partition and a swap 
partition and then did a Fedora-20 net install, this gave me many 
options as far as software and desktop choice.  After I had Fedora-20 
installed and set up I used fedup to upgrade to Fedora-22.  Otherwise 
you can use the Fedora-22 live install to install Fedora-22.  All this 
is assuming your computer is semi-modern.  Using fedup requires the 
operating system and software take up less than half of the disc area 
Fedora is installed on.
