Tettnang (Fedora Core 2, Yarrow is Fedora Core 1) is already out there on the
Bittorrent, and will be released officially tomorrow. Perhaps you shouldn't

(don't use suprnova.org torrents, make sure you install bittorrent
and open the right ports on your firewall so that other clients could
connect)
invest too much time into what's about to become a legacy distro at some
point.
Notice that there are some potentially unresolved issues with Windows XP/dual
boot FC2. It might be a good idea to repartition in a safe way
(PartitionMagic, make boot disks) before installing.

Do you have a DVD burner? Can you install from DVD? I suggest you get a DVD
image via Bittorrent, it's less pain that way (no need to juggle several
media). CDR .isos work just as well, of course.

An .iso is a complete CD (or DVD) image. You should just find the option
"burn image" or somesuch in your favourite CD authoring software.

Make sure your system would boot from CD/DVD medium, then reboot your
machine. Notice that you *most definitely* should backup everything, and
repartition in a safe way. Not knowing exactly what you're doing is an
excellent way to make your existing XP installation unbootable (easy enough
to fix when having boot floppies/media at hand) or blow it away altogether
(try not to do that).

Fedora Core can't r/w NTFS (there's a way to mount NTFS read-only, assuming
it's supported in the stock kernel). There's a hack involving running a
Windows binary in Linux (userland or kernelspace?) to r/w NTFS safely, but I
wouldn't touch it right now.
Just shrink your existing NTFS partition (Partition Magic can do that, did I
mention boot floppies? I believe I did, several times), and install FC, using
Grub as boot manager in MBR.
But let other people do it first, and report success, lest you get that
possible FC2 bug bite you.
