Description Kevin Raymond 2013-08-08 15:19:01 UTC 
Please add that the i686 releases are not UEFI compatible on the following section:

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/19/html/Installation_Guide/ch-new-users.html#sn-which-arch

This is the one we use to choose the arch, that's where it should fit, more than in table 3.1 (Boot and installation media) or Chap 7 (Booting the Installer).

Thanks,

Better yet make them UEFI compatible as there are 32bit UEFI platforms still being produced that run Windows 8/32bit.

I'll add a note on the subject, thanks Kevin.

Alan, the lack of support for 32bit UEFI is an engineering decision; the documentation must reflect the actual features of the software so we can't help with your concern.  There are very few 32bit UEFI systems though, so I don't think resources will be devoted to their support.

This is covered fairly well in the current release, closing.
