They're live cd/dvd isos.

You can also grab the ks files and build spins locally which is nice if
you already have a local rawhide mirror.

The install of live images is a bit different than the normal installs.
You have some restrictions on the file system type. And everything that's
on the spin gets installed, since it's really a copy rather than a yum install.
