Yeah, that's what I was talking about - boot off of it but then point it to
the mirror to install over ftp.

OK, so is this what the dev team *wants* - i.e. does it make sense to even
try it this way to find bugs? Or is it more desireable to start with a
stable install (FC3) and then yum up to rawhide? Do you see what I mean?
If I'm going to file bugs against weird behavior, I want to make sure they
are realistic bugs.
