OK a bit confused now - you mean that you "could" run f13 kernel in f12
provided you also installed the appropriate graphics packages?  If so what
would a suitable yum command be?

I guess your second comment regarding boot.iso would be if you wanted to
move a running f12 system onto rawhide or install rawhide from the boot.iso?
Or did you mean if you installed fedora-release-13-0.6.noarch.rpm within a
running f12 system then the repos would point to f13? On the other hand
installing fedora-release-rawhide-13-0.6.noarch.rpm would then pull in
rawhide packages?

Just needed to be clear what the various options did.
