Rawhide is not exactly a complete distribution.  It's more of a
collection of packages that are being tested and possibly planned for
future releases.  It may or may not work as a complete distribution.  I
don't know if the installer stuff even works in rawhide or not.

The test releases on the other hand are designed as a complete
distribution, and you if you want to help in the process, use the
"test3" download right now.  Then if you want newer packages, you can
update from the rawhide channels through up2date/yum.
