The Fedora 13 ARM Beta is now available for download. There are still a number of packages that haven’t been built for ARM due to build failures or missing dependencies. We’re a little behind the primary architectures so we have the ability to look at later releases to see if these failures have been fixed – thankfully a large number include support for ARM. Because of this we expect that with Fedora 14 and 15 we will be closer in line with the primary architectures.
A new root file system is available for download - http://scotland.proximity.on.ca/fedora-arm/beta/f13/rootfs-f13-beta-2011-02-22.tar.bz2
The password for the root account is “fedoraarm”.
Instructions for using the root file system can be found at - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/Using

We will now be working to get the remaining packages in Fedora 13 built, then move on to updates and Fedora 14.
Enjoy,
