After the recent discussion "FC4 state of affairs and FC5"
on fedora-devel about the possibility of making updated
installation iso images I gave it a try and actually
managed to put it together nicely.
(Can't say I liked the anaconda build utils, but ohwell)
So, if you feel like testing a potentially dangerous
unofficial release of updated FC4 install images I have
put them up on a server.
It's only i386, only cd, only torrent.
Feedback appreciated!
Please don't bug Fedora developers with FC4.1 specific bugs.

Great work and good idea with the torrent-only distribution, very
efficient. Also thank you for calling it unofficial.

You may want to look into backporting some of the more important fixes
in order to avoid some of the nastier install problems of FC4.

As for the kernel I personally think 1398 is far less problematic for
most folks than 1447. I copied all of the 1398 kernels for you here if
you want to try that instead. Or maybe you should wait for a better new
FC4 update kernel to hit the official tree.
Since you will probably be respinning several times as you incorporate
more bug fixes, you may want to use X.Y.Z versioned filenames with a
separate changelog page on your website to explain what changed without
users needing to download the entire torrent to find out. In your
respins try to focus on issues that screw up the install process. All
other bugs in the distribution are easily fixed with up2date or yum
after and far less important.
