I'm pointed to build info (http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=6790858), which lists a number of files associated with the build. I've downloaded the appropriate kernel (via yumex), but it did not install. Here's what I believe is the yumex output:

Not with the yum install process, with which I'm quite comfortable, but with the specifics of installing a test build. Perhaps I'm just missing something that I should have installed as well?

please do the following:
rpm -q kernel 
if that already lists kernel-3.13.7-100, everything should be fine. if
that's not the case you could fetch the corresponding rpms:
bodhi -D kernel-3.13.7-100.fc19
afterwards, one would use
yum localinstall <rpm file(s)>

to install.

Hope that helps,
Matthias
