Tried this last night (on an un-updated F17 install) # yum install fedora-release-rawhide # yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=rawhide update It was quite unusable, always ran into rescue mode while boot. Could be the SElinux thing you mentioned earlier. I am trying again now. Here is what I plan to do: # yum install fedora-release-rawhide # yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=rawhide distro-sync Is that right?
