Screenshots on that page are the actual sequence on install from
DVD.i386.iso

Internode [Au] mirror still has pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/ open, this
is where I got iso image from. It looks like a final release but I have
no meanings of confirming this, other than the clues from the installed
system:

- pirut is picking up updates from updates, not rawhide repo.

- test 3 worked properly (with FAB approved pop-up). Tree for 7.92 shows
version codeina-0.10.1-1 and the one I currently have (from iso) is
codeina-0.10.1-5

- /etc/fedora-release is Fedora release 8 (Werewolf)
