Building boot.iso's is slightly complicated; the best reference is 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_a_Fedora_install_ISO_for_testing
 , perhaps also referring to 
https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/releng/tree/scripts/run-pungi and 
https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/releng/tree/scripts/pungify (which 
are the actual scripts releng uses, though they have all sorts of 
paths and things hardcoded so you can really only use them as 
references).

In this case, though, you can just wait for TC5 which will appear soon 
with the new libedit included.

Thanks! Expect it to crash soon after, but that's not lorax's fault :)

F22 and Rawhide are different things at this point; F22 is the current 
'Branched' release, while Rawhide is at this point where F23 is being 
worked on. See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Release_Life_Cycle 
for (hopefully) an explanation of the whole process.

Updating an F22 install and checking you see no problems is helpful, 
but ideally we'll need to get images with the updated fedora-release 
built to test that fresh installs have the expected firewall 
configuration. TC5 may include it, I'm not totally clear on whether I 
got the updated request in in time or not - I'll check with dgilmore 
in the morning :)

Don't worry, they weren't silly at all!
