Fedora 12 (Rawhide) DVD ISO download

[zmdmw52]

I have tried searching for this, but have not been able to get a download location to the ISO of the Fedora 12 (Rawhide) DVD.

If DVD ISO is available for F12, where can one d/l it from ?

You can install the F11 DVD and just enable the rawhide repos and update it, then it will be rawhide. I find it easier to just use the boot.iso as all the files on the DVD will be out of date anyway.

I am using F11. Exactly how do I "enable the rawhide repos and update it"?

It is called Fedora-12-Alpha-i386-DVD.iso
and the link to it can be found on the fedora-test-list as
F12-aplha-rc2-dvd

I am installing it now in VBox (839 of 1104)

I would not install using the rawhide repo until the next push.
I would not attempt an update at this time.

In Gnome, System->Administration->Software Sources, check the Rawhide box. Then go to System->Administration->Software Update and update your system. Then see if you can find all the broken pieces of your system.

Remember, rawhide completely breaks routinely and could destroy your computer. Here is a good blog to keep up with workaround when it won't boot, etc.

best to install F12 on a seperate partition an dualboot F11 an F12 together, that way you have a stable release an a rawhide release.

The f12 alpha-rc2 dvd installed and ran fine in VBox-3.0.4 with updated F11 host.
The only problem was the vesa 800x600 screen size.
The old xorg.conf created by the older system-config-display install no longer worked.
system-config-display no longer creates an xorg.conf skeleton.

I read through
man xorg.conf
and determined the serverlaypout section was not needed (the only item there was the screen0 id but the system will default to the first device.), so this morning I commented out that section, logged out, the screen hung. I Ctl-F3 to root and entered gdm. X and Gnome started in the largest mode I had defined in the xrog.conf (rather than the first one) but Gnome Menu - System,Prefs, display had the modes and freqs in the list.

I did do a yum update last night and wow, it ran ok and I re-booted into the 800x600 screen.
It sat all night and ran the cron jobs ok. uptime 9 hrs plus.

I used very small /boot with ext4 and small LV's with ext4 (/, /usr, /tmp, /var, swap 1gb, /home about 4GB) starting with a 12GB vdisk. Personally, I think this is why it made it though the install, the updates, and the cron jobs so easily - no VBox time outs on disk and less disk searching for files and space.

Lastly I updated from koji the new e2fsprogs and lvm2.
There was a couple of file descriptor leaks messages when I shut down from LVM.
Maybe because I had not rebooted.
I'll start back up in a while and list the xorg.conf and the ext4 sizes.

OK, boot up is a bit senitive.
Needed nomodeset with xorg.conf
Mail from root is error by missing spool dir, so not reports.
Mouse is jerky, cpu maybe?
