Install the packages, they should set up everything.  (Honestly, IMHO,
distribution specific install instructions are more-or-less a waste o
time - everyone maintaining documents that are fundamentally the same).

As mentioned, the only snag might be the ngobjweb Apache module.  Follow
the step-by-step cut-n-paste instruction for building the module at -

The real configuration happens after you have the suite installed and
running.  All that is entirely distribution independent and covered in
WMOGAG -

pilot-link is a system (in your case Fedora) package that provides
libraries for working with Palm OS devices.
