Thanks for that link.  That looks like a pretty good way to do multiple
fedoras.  I wonder if it wouldn't be better to have a separate /boot
partition, instead of including it in the first install?  That way, if
the master Fedora becomes obsolete, it is a simple matter to replace
the root and reuse the /boot.  Separate boot might lead to issues of
size if lots of fedoras are installed, though.  And because it requires
human input and behavior, the process is probably only around 3 sigma,
so errors can be expected.
