Look at rpmfind.net (or a local mirror). Be sure there is no "distribution"!
It's just a bunch of RPMs. What I try to tell you: If you want to run "Rawhide",
you have to install a normal RH-machine first and afterwards update all packages
with Rawhide-versions.

Sure you can. But be sure that most of those RPMs are CVS versions and therefor
maybe not stable... Don't install those packages on systems where you need real
stability!

Best regards,
