Finally, a rawhide install!

I finally got a rawhide to install successfully.
I had to do a text-mode install, as every time I used the raphical
installer, anaconda would error out with an i/o error on tune2fs(!)
I did a minimal install (no options checked, no customizations).
Firstboot fails with a syntax error on line 44 of S99firstboot. (Missing
']' and FIRSTBOOT is not a command.)
PackageKit is the pits! It double-lists all the installed packages (one
as installed and one as not installed) and only one package at a time
can be added during the session. This is a major step backwards from
pirut. [I thought packagekit was going to be an alternative to pirut,
not to replace it right away!]
NetworkManager doesn't do very well with handling just a wired
connection, it gets started much to late to let the NFS locking
mechanism start successfully. Have to chkconfig network on and
netorkmanager off.
Otherwise, it is a good solid system. seems stable and operational,
despite the hassles of getting it to install, and the other noted errors.
