Nightly live CD builds are done automatically in any case, and available
at:

http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/

it's fine to just test with those, if you really can't test the Test
Compose, but we do need testing on the Test Compose images specifically
to identify any problems unique to the traditional-installer builds.

Note that live builds from 2009-09-18 to 2009-09-23 do not work, they
will not boot (so no image currently available on the nightly repository
actually works, to my knowledge). 2009-09-24 builds may work, once
today's Rawhide compose comes through and they are built. We're not
sure, yet, but we believe the problem should be fixed. Until then, the
last working live CD composes that are available are the Snap 3 ones:
