It's possible that we didn't get the image up there correctly.
I'm moving the i386 RC 2.1 up there right now.  I'm currently testing 
the x86_64 RC 1.5 to make sure I didn't do anything stupid.
(And good thing I checked too ... I had changed the desktop tweak rpm, 
messed up the permissions of startkde, and essentially turned off KDE. 
It's fixed now ... but just always need to do a sanity check.)
I'll get the x86_64 up there soon ... but I'm working on one more 
change, putting in fastmirror stuff in the yum-conf (not as default, but 
  as an option).  So, there might be two updates today.
