Hello,
is it possible to get a daily rawhide live cd?
I want to test kernel 2.6.31 for the creative x-fi alsa driver but i dont want to install rawhide on this machine.
thanks in advance

There is only a boot.iso to do an online install or updates to an installed system.
And rawhide is still very raw, many things not working.
You can create your own spin but you would need at least one working rawhide install with all the tools needed to do the spin. Not a simple environment.

I made a "rawhide" LiveCD by enabling the rawhide repo" in my fedora-live-base.ks file. I made a live-usb and when it booted it seemed to stall just before the login screen. I rebooted and at the grub screen hit tab and removed"quiet rhgb" and hit enter and it finally went to the login and then desktop.
I was pushing it a bit as the rpmfusion repos were enabled and a selection of extras was installed during the creation of the image. Here's the kernel that was installed:[liveuser@localhost ~]$ uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.31-0.38.rc1.git7.fc12.i586 #1 SMP Tue Jun 30 20:02:07 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux firefox crashed and I decided to try yum and installed "epiphany, dillo, galeon, midori and seamonkey" already had lynx on the original image.
After a reboot to see if and what I broke I was able to use firefox and login here and post this. The downside is that I have no sound (Intel audio) streamtuner and streamripper work though. :)

if you want rawhide, why not just use Pre-Upgrade?

You know, what you could have done was installed kernel 2.6.31-rcX directly from http://kernel.org

We don't do daily live CDs for Rawhide, but Rawhide live CDs get generated quite frequently for one reason or another. At present, the Desktop group is running weekly Test Days for their Fit and Finish project:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fit_and_Finish
the next one's due tomorrow, so they should have a live CD up for it, but they don't yet. They do have the one from last week, though:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2009-07-07_Fit_and_Finish:Display_Configuration
there's links to i586 and x86-64 live CDs there.
Adam Miller is currently building a Rawhide live CD each week with Xfce as the desktop, meant for testing Xfce, but there's no reason you can't use it to test something else. The latest one was built today, and you can find it at http://www.shsu.edu/~ajm023/Fedora-xfce-20090720.iso .
So there's usually a way to find a fairly recent Rawhide live CD :)
