Rawhide install report - 20080227 success

The i386 images directory being populated for the first time in many
days, I took the opportunity to do an installation of rawhide on my
testbed machine.

It was generally successful.  There are a few expected glitches, but the
system installed and runs successfully.

Kudos to the anaconda team for getting things working for i386. (x86_64
probably works too!)

Firstboot now at least generates a non-root user.

GDM of today actually displays some users to select from.

The shutdown/restart buttons seem to work.

Yum has some interesting changes in terms of the repositories.  I make a
mistake in the pirut repository editor and it propagated to yum itself
until I went back into pirut and fixed the problem.  If yum is looking
somewhere besides /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-development.repo, I'd like to
know where it is looking so that silly errors don't lock me up
completely.  [I used $basearch in pirut's editor and it couldn't resolve
"$basearch".  Pirut apparently wants "i386" instead.]

May I suggest that system-config-firewall be re-grouped so that it is a
base install package?

Well done to the developers in advance of the beta freeze.
