Thanks for the answers. I shall certainly file a bug report for the
non-working images.

I understand your concern, but something(voting) is better than nothing
right?
but if there is better solution as you have mentioned is coming right up in
a short while that is very much welcome.

Debian releases CD images every week for their testing repository and they
rarely fail to finish an installation  on multiple systems I have tested.
I think Fedora rawhide images has to be sturdy as well which will allow
more people to test rawhide.
Not trying to insinuate any disrespect for the hardworking fedora devs, but
just stating the info.
