  what i noticed that seemed a bit odd was that, predictably, as the
build was progressing, the size of the .iso.tmp file was a fixed
3901210562 bytes (3.8G or so), as the "holes" in the image were being
filled.  but if i look at the *final* ISO image, its size is only
3901112320.  marginally smaller.  is there something stripped from the
temp image to get the final ISO?  it seems to work, i just don't know
what was removed in going from .iso.tmp to .iso.

  i have, in fact, installed the respin on one of my laptops, so
that's a data point.

  this is a bit annoying -- if you boot from that respin, there
appears to be no indication that this is not the original F8 release.
would it be that difficult to perhaps change the boot screen to say
something like that, just as a brief verification?

  no, i just did the one (image 13).  all jigdo-lite is asking you is
if you want to do yet *another* image.  i think.  once i got that
"Checksums match, image is good" message, i just killed jigdo-lite.
