If you have Ubuntu install already make a partition for fedora in gparted and when you install choose manual install and put your / in that partition # and then if you have over
2 gig or more of Ram ignore swap. If under 2 gig make a swap partition. About 2 times the size of installed ram and put swap in that partition #. Format / in ext4 and when it comes to grub just choose not to install any grub at all.( Fedora uses grub-legacy and Ubuntu grub2.) When through installing boot into Ubuntu first and;

sudo update-grubWill make new grub config and os-prober will find fedora install and put in boot menu and config file.
Fedora uses a program called anaconda I believe to install with and pretty straight forward.
