F17 vs. Pentium 4

> How do I find the most recent image?

There is only one Release image ever made and distributed by Fedora,
so if the checksum matches then you have the latest official image.

Updates are distributed electronically via yum in the repository
that is designated in  /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo .

You can make your own updated .iso; for instance see
https://fedorahosted.org/pungi/wiki/PungiDocs  and
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=789101 .
This can be done from one release back [on Fedora 15 for Fedora 16]
by installing the forward versions of the packages pungi, anaconda,
fedora-kickstarts (previously spin-kickstarts), and [perhaps] lorax.

I build my own .isos a few times shortly before alpha, beta, and release.
After downloading the packages, it takes me about 25 minutes for Fedora 16,
10 minutes for Fedora 17.  Use ext4 for /var/cache/pungi and the output
directory, a tmpfs for the work directory, and have >=4GB RAM; else
it will take a while longer.
