rescue.iso images?

[Gilboa Davara]

Hello all,

Please forgive me if it has been asked before, but, when can we expect
to see rawhide installation isos and/or vmlinuz+initrd sets?
I'd like to reinstall my rawhide machine, and I rather start from a
rawhide kit (instead of using F8 as a base)

Thanks,
- Gilboa.

Generally no rawhide iso spin is done until the -testX release, which isn't
until early january for test1.

You should be able to use the F8 install media or rescue CD to do
a net install from a rawhide mirror. This used to work for me.

They're attempted each night ( boot.iso which has the
vmlinuz+initrd+stage1 stuff ).  However due to the nature of rawhide,
it often fails.  However it looks like last night we at least got
images for i386 and ppc.

And these get distributed to the mirrors right!? Sorry if that's a
stupid question...

Yes, you can find them in the os/images/ directory of i386, x86_64, and
ppc arches.

The only stupid question is one that is not asked. :-)

I discovered that my favorite mirror (to remain nameless) has stopped
reflecting the images directory for development.  for Development/Rawhide
I now use a different mirror.
