It assumes that I have grub2. I don't.
That is why I didn't use it.
I think you are wrong here;
the F16 is first to use grub2, yes.
But the f16 doc says to use your *existing* GRUB boot loader,
which for your F14 is your legacy GRUB.
From the docs:
12.2. Editing the GRUB Configuration
The GRUB boot loader uses the configuration files /etc/default/grub and the
scripts in etc/grub.d/. To configure GRUB to boot from the new files, add a
boot stanza to /etc/grub.d/40_custom that refers to them.
A minimal boot stanza looks like the following listing:
menuentry "Fedora Linux" {
set root=(hd0,0)
linux /vmlinuz-install
initrd /initrd.img-install
}
The stanza is for grub2.
Also from 12.2:
When you are finished, run grub2-mkconfig with root privileges and open the
grub.cfg file to view the updated configuration. Locate your new menu entry
stanza and determine its place in the stanza order.
grub2-mkconfig is grub2-only.

So if you have the files extracted from the F16 iso
stored somewhere on your F14,
you should be able to directly use the Horsley prescription.
That is what I have been trying to do lately.
It hasn't been working.
