The Fedora 13 ARM Beta is now available for download. There are still a number of packages
that haven’t been built for ARM due to build failures or missing dependencies. We’re a
little behind the primary architectures so we have the ability to look at later releases
to see if these failures have been fixed – thankfully a large number include support for
ARM. Because of this we expect that with Fedora 14 and 15 we will be closer in line with
the primary architectures.
A new root file system is available for download -

We will now be working to get the remaining packages in Fedora 13 built, then move on to
updates and Fedora 14.
Enjoy,
