See my other post--netinstall isn't (a net install) again, unless I've
missed some change in the way one tells it to offer the option of
network installation.  Right now, the only way that's worked for me is
to use Unetbootin, choose Fedora rawhide netinstall from the choices and
boot off of that--it's the only thing offering me NFS or a URL.
