I have been using rawhide primarily for more than a

repository http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/tasks?state=all&view=tree&method=livecd&order=-id
and none of them finished a installation in the last 3-4 months.
I know its not tested by the QA but I know there must be some
image out the zillions of live images built there must have
worked for someone else and If there is some way to add karma to
the live images which works I would not have to waste my
bandwidth downloading all the non-working images.
All I ask here please give an option to add karma to the
nightly composes so that people would know which images will
work. If this is not the right place for this discussion
please guide me where I should.

I've had good luck lately installing Rawhide from a local rsync copy
of
/usr/bin/rsync -vaH --numeric-ids --delete --delete-after
--delay-updates --progress --stats
mirrors1.kernel.org::fedora/development/rawhide/x86_64/os /z/rawhide
This requires about 50 gb of space to hold the files on one's
server. The rest is done with dnsmasq and pxeboot.
The trick is to use the pxeboot files from Heisenbug.
The result: I can install rawhide with some 3000+ packages at local
network speeds
