Install Fedora 22

This article presents how to install Fedora 22 – Live Workstation version.

I assume you have already downloaded Fedora 22 64 bit Live Workstation(about 1,37 G) and you know how to use VirtualBox 64 bit(100M). Create virtual machine with default settings for Linux Fedora 64 bit. 2GB ram and 64G(includes extra space for Oracle installations) for disk is enough plus increase video memory to 128M. Rest of options you can keep default.
