As a Fedora Testor I am puzzled somewhat though. Is there available reading material and such as how I would go about using these rpm with a qemu/kvm for testing without having the installer available yet? Obviously I can test the install media when it exists just like I do for Fedora, but using these trees of rpms is a new skill I am hoping to add. Don't want to bog anyone down with explaining it in detail, as I don't mind reading and teaching myself, just need pointed where to look.
