Good evening all, 

With Fedora 20 Beta RC5 now a Go! for release next week, we 
have some exciting new options for network installations on the 
Wandboard and using QEMU. 

I've updated the F20 installation instructions on the wiki to include
some initial network install options, other hardware may work as well
so please expand where possible.

Wandboard[1]
------------
Tested on the Wandboard Quad, and may work on the Dual with some
small tweaks (correct U-Boot and DTB). The Solo includes 512M RAM, which 
I don't think will be enough (fails on the BeagleBone Black - OOM). 
Test it out and let us know!
* USB root not working on initial attempt, needs additional testing 
* VNC and text installs working
* Small installer image available or tftpboot

QEMU[2]
-------
Limited testing (please feel free to add to the wiki)
* Text install confirmed working (graphical in progress), 
standard partitioning
* TODO - VNC, additional options, vexpress-a15, kickstarts

This should help open up some testing options and increase coverage as we
push forward to our first final release as a primary architecture.
