[fedora-arm] Re: Fedora on Rpi3B

Update:
I finally managed to get the image to the card and successfuly run it. Maybe it's beacuse new version was released (25 Beta 1.1), because I tried all ways you suggested. (And yes, I was on Fedora wiki before, like on all RPi pages from F18, nothing helped me.)

So, now I have:
OS: Fedora 25 Server Beta 1.1 
FORMAT: compressed *.raw file
INSTALLATION: decompression
dd bs=4M if="/path/image.raw" of=/dev/mmcblk0; sync

However it runs anaconda installation at the beginning, so it can't be fast deployed like other RPi OS distros. Either way it need configuration, so I will make my own image later.

The second thing is, that it feels like it runs slow - comapared to Raspbian or CentOS I tried on the same RPi3B. 
Is it just a feeling or it is something known?



Thanks for replies!

I suspect then something is getting powered off because it doesn't
think it's needed. Will investigate.

Sure, but I wasn't sure exactly what you were after.
