BZ#?

It is currently closed, because I did not re-test anymore after it was
announced that the device won't be supported anymore soon.

Never been supported by Fedora ARM for lack of upstream kernel and
firmware license issues. It's a Seneca College remix, but AFAIK it
works great:

Yes, but this is probably also a reason why there was little Fedora
related outcome from the Hardware summer of fun.

Never been supported by Fedora ARM for lack of upstream kernel.
That might change in the next release as the upstream is coming
along.

F19 on ARM supports interactive anaconda installs over serial. Or
vnc installs if you want graphics. Or kickstart installs if you
want automation.
This sounds promising. Are there remix-anaconda images that can be used
to test this on a Cubieboard?
