I saw this:

But I can't seem to find the ISO's for this build, anyone know where the 
ISO's can be downloaded for Fedora x86_64?

There aren't any yet.

ISOs do not exist for this build on purpose... Was a way for me to somewhat
limit the audience since this is only a preview release and no garauntee of
stability of safety.  The boot.iso exists though, and the buildinstall is
done. You can either boot from the boot.iso and install via http, ftp, etc,
or mkisofs with that tree.

boot.iso worked for HTTP install for me, but your mileage may vary. 
Consider that tree to be of pre-alpha quality.  It generally works
except for a few pieces broken.  If you know the system well you can
quickly workaround most problems.  The purpose of that release is to
open up testing to more people in order to find and knock out bugs
before the formal test1 beta release.

Justin perhaps put together a Wiki page of known issues and workarounds?

Just to be sure, if I burn boot.iso as the boot trak and the total 
contents of that directory as another track, I can get this thing going?

Assuming you are talking about a DVD as CD is too small for that tree,
download the entire tree to /some/directory.
Then:
'mkisofs -J -R -v -T -o isoimagename.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c
isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table
/some/directory'

There is your DVD iso, for CD, you will have to run a split distro

Only if you have a dvd burner.  The boot.iso is for people who are 
installing onto systems that don't have a floppy drive.  The boot.iso 
will let you start a network install.

If you have a spare system running linux just export the contents of 
the directory via nfs.  Burn a cdrom, or create a boot floppy.  Select 
the nfs install method, and punch in your nfs server's ip, and the 
directory.
