The above will (should?) work as a boot medium for a CD/DVD or
CD/DVD-image install; however, be aware that the boot.iso from the
development tree:

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/images/

will be necessary to do a network install of the current development
snapshot, but will work only if you happen to catch everything in sync.
Otherwise you will get a message, IIRC, about the boot image not
matching the installation.  Same problem may occur when using the
vmlinuz/initrd.img/grub-boot approach outlined earlier in this thread.
If this happens just try again.
