Hi Bernard,
When i tried it my simple way was to change /etc/fedora-release to
Fedora Core release 7 (Rawhide)
But there is another issue with OS_Detect it does not correctly detect
the x86_64 arch. It detects it as unkown. So I had to hard code "unkown"
var as "x86_64" in my setup of test of fc7 test2 x86_64. BTW to boot
from all hard drives update the mkinitrd from yum.
Cheers,
Allan
