Could someone post an exact cookbook for installing rawhide

I tried diskboot with several URLs but it always failed not being able
to access one or more files.
I tried loading FC8 and, setting the repository to development,
and then upgrading but this results in many conflicts with fc8
versions as well as missing dependencies.
What is the correct procedure, exactly?
Basically, three options at the moment:
1) network install from boot.iso
2) network install from rescue image
3) update from an F8 install
One of the easier ways - if you have Fedora already running on the
machine - is to use SNAKE. This is the method I use for most of my
install testing. In the simplest case, it goes like this:
0. su -, yum install snake
1. snake-install [rawhide tree url]
2. reboot
snake-install will pull down the kernel and initrd and modify the
bootloader. When you reboot, it will boot into stage 1 of the installer,
defaulting to dhcp networking, en_US language/keymap, then automatically
pull down the rest of the installer and anaconda should start.
If the install fails.. I grab a Live image and reinstall F8.
Or better yet, use virtualization and it takes a fraction of the time to
recover.
1) create a known good install of F8 or F7
2) create a snapshot of it or clone it
3) attempt rawhide install
4) if the install fails revert to "known good snapshot"
