Howdy all -
Is the "best" way to get rawhide to try to install directly off the tree at ftp://[my_favorite_mirror]/fedora/core/development/i386/,
boot.iso is provided in images/ directory in the tree. burn the boot.iso do a network install.
Yeah, that's what I was talking about - boot off of it but then point it to the mirror to install over ftp.
Depending on the internal consistency of the rawhide tree doing a direct install may not work. Expect problems, don't be shocked if the installer sees an unresolvable dependancy.
OK, so is this what the dev team *wants* - i.e. does it make sense to even try it this way to find bugs? Or is it more desireable to start with a stable install (FC3) and then yum up to rawhide? Do you see what I mean? If I'm going to file bugs against weird behavior, I want to make sure they are realistic bugs.
