Nice to hear you work on improving things. I am satisfied with the
current state - I upgrade my server E450 from fedora-secondary. I have
not tried to install recently (E4500 waits for its turn still with
Solaris) neither I use X-Window.

I wonder what do you plan to do after fixing installing and X:
- up to date updates for F9? (I have not checked recently if they differ
  much from the mainstream - maybe not much)
- building complete F10?
- or maybe skipping F10 and doing F11?
