It should not create any problems (I have done this with Ubuntu) but you want to be sure that the bootloader like GRUB or whatever Fedora uses recognizes and will boot to the other OS. My concern is that 4GB may be too small of a partition to do a lot with this OS.

Is there a particular reason you are looking at Fedora 7? The current version is Fedora 9.
