Your preferences are no longer available.

1) If you'd like to try installing rawhide directly, you're welcome to
roll your own images (to get started, check out
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_build_a_Rawhide_ISO_image_for_testing)
 
2) Same as above, if you'd like to roll your own live image for Rawhide,
check out the process we use when creating images for test days
(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Test_Days/Live_Image)

I'm not sure the previous options work around these issues.  Rawhide is
not guaranteed to be free to dependency failures.

Just as Adam documented, I install F-13 (or current F-14), install
fedora-release-rawhide and yum --enablerepo=rawhide update.

Thanks,
James
