Downloading right now, I hope Live ISO works as Live USB because previous 
snapshots failed :(

From what I'm told, the fix for that went in after these snapshots were
made.

Did you try editing the kernel line to root=live:LABEL=FEDORA

I didn't.

But Snap3 works ok as LiveUSB without any additional kernel lines.

My download of Fedora 12 Live Snapshot 3 for i686 via BitTorrent is
averaging <10KB/s and the ETA is 1 or 2 days.  Is anyone else
experiencing this painfully slow rate?  I'm using
transmission-1.72-1.fc11.i586 and I'm behind a NAT.

Me too :( around 20kB/s. I guess it will get faster in a few hours.

Well, I finally finished downloading, and I'm having the same problem
running F12-Snap3-i686-Live.iso under qemu as described at:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=523981
Cannot boot Rawhide in F11 qemu

I reported that bug against the F12 kernel, but for all I know, it's a
problem with the F11 qemu package.  Does this actually work for anyone?

Rawhide boots fine for me on VirtualBox (admittedly, VirtualBox is
running on Mac OS X, but that shouldn't make a difference). I would
actually recommend VirtualBox over qemu anyway, because as far as I
know, qemu doesn't provide the accelerated 2D and 3D graphics that
VirtualBox tries to provide in its Guest Additions. (Please note that
the version of the VirtualBox guest additions should be the same as
the version of VirtualBox running on the host, which won't necessarily
be the case if you "yum install" both of them.)

If I already have an earlier (1+ weeks ago?) nightly compose installed, 
will doing a 'yum update' on that system bring me up to date with 
Snapshot 3 and beyond?

Yes except that you won't be testing the installer itself.

Well, I yum-ed and presto-ed about 450 Mb or so of updates (covering a 
little less than 500 packages) and at yum's cleanup step #777 of 972, 
something like glibc stalled the entire cleanup process then and there. 
I was able to shower and shave and step 777 was still running, with the 
hard drive spinning like mad. I did ctrl-c to kill the process and 
rebooted the machine. Result:

Plymouth doesn't prompt for the disk encryption password any more, but 
if you type the password in anyhow and press enter, this will be used 
for decryption and the boot process will start.

Thunderbird 3.0b3 still will not recognize my migrated email account 
like it used to. It may be that the 'cleanup' step for Thunderbird was 
needed.

I guess I'll do a wholesale reinstall from the snapshot ISO.

how about trying yum-complete-transaction ?

I am not able to boot the newest snapshot on my laptop with LUK encrypted partitions.  It
alwasy prompts for the partition's password, then I can hear the CD player for 20 or
so seconds, then it boots from the hard drive.

I don't know if this was a problem in previous snapshots as this is the first time I
tried on on this laptop.  Dell inspiron 9400 AMD ATI x1300 4BG RAM.

I was able to successfully boot my LUKS encrypted laptop with F12 Snap
3 on a Live USB.  I have a single drive, with unencrypted /boot
(obviously), and an encrypted LVM PV.

Well, I'd say it's an improvement over my
previous tries (alpha didn't
boot, intel KMS testday ISO had Xorg sluggish to the point that working
with it was literally impossible), but I'm still unable to install
rawhide using the live CD method... Anaconda crashes even before
appearing, judging from abrt traceback it seems like nss.nss (or
something like that) module is missing. Also, during boot (just after
KMS kicks in), there are messages that umount is missing...

Ps: I've tried the Fedora 12 Live Snapshot 3 for i686
