There have already been examples of installer images..without the package payload..being created in response to specific bugreports about specific broken hardware created by developers as part of bugzilla activity for fedora releases. for example: http://www.fedorafaq.org/fc2/#installreboot Now that there is a process for producing release note errata these specific boot image fixes like the c3boot-2.iso could be publicized more.
Is the procedure to re-create boot.iso with simply the latest kernel from updates published anywhere? (I can't find it)
In my case, the original FC4 kernel in CD images doesn't support the hardware of my newest box, FC5-devel doesn't install (anaconda under construction) but it does boot, so I suspect FC4 update kernels would too...
