The nightly live images are at:
http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/
Thanks.
Can they be booted without media?
I tried the following stanza:
title Install Fedora17-3-28 from iso
root (hd0,2)
pause have rooted (hd0,2)
find /isolinux17-3-28/vmlinuz0
pause have finded
kernel /isolinux17-3-28/vmlinuz0 askmethod noacpi root=/dev/ram0
pause have kerneled
find /isolinux17-3-28/initrd0.img
pause have finded
initrd /isolinux17-3-28/initrd0.img
pause have initrded
I got a dracut warning: signal caught
attempt to kill inint
no or empty root argument
It didn't boot.
Adding root=/dev/ram0 to the kernel line got me told no such device.
