IMHO it is also not that easy to get something going with ARM on Fedora.

BZ#?

Never been supported by Fedora ARM for lack of upstream kernel and firmware license issues. It's a Seneca College remix, but AFAIK it works great:

Never been supported by Fedora ARM for lack of upstream kernel. That might change in the next release as the upstream is coming along.

feels quirky.

F19 on ARM supports interactive anaconda installs over serial. Or vnc installs if you want graphics. Or kickstart installs if you want automation.
