GRUB < 2 isn't supported, but it can be made to work.  I still use it on
most of my Fedora and EL7 systems.  Assuming that you already have GRUB
installed, the steps are basically:

* Tell anaconda not to install a bootloader

* After installation, boot from a different OS or live CD and manually
  create a GRUB stanza for your new OS

* Boot your new OS

* Create /etc/sysconfig/kernel

* ln -s /boot/grub/grub.conf /etc/

The last two steps enable grubby to update grub.conf when you install a
new kernel.
