images from the nightly composes repository
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/tasks?state=all&view=tree&method=livecd&order=-id
and none of them finished a installation in the last 3-4 months. I
know its not tested by the QA but I know there must be some image out
the zillions of live images built there must have worked for someone
else and If there is some way to add karma to the live images which
works I would not have to waste my bandwidth downloading all the
non-working images.
All I ask here please give an option to add karma to the nightly
composes so that people would know which images will work. If this is
not the right place for this discussion please guide me where I should.

I've had good luck lately installing Rawhide from a local rsync copy of
/usr/bin/rsync -vaH --numeric-ids --delete --delete-after
--delay-updates --progress --stats
mirrors1.kernel.org::fedora/development/rawhide/x86_64/os /z/rawhide
This requires about 50 gb of space to hold the files on one's server.
The rest is done with dnsmasq and pxeboot.
The trick is to use the pxeboot files from Heisenbug.
The result: I can install rawhide with some 3000+ packages at local
network speeds
