An ordinary re-spin, as I use the word -- and especially the thing -- enables a user to install what's current now, instead of what was in November, without having to do vast updating to get the current rpms. A custom re-spin appears generally to be so called. The everything DVD walks like a re-spin and quacks like a re-spin on my end -- and such 'abuse of language,' as the mathematicians call it, has been normal for as much of the history of tongues as is known or can be inferred from extant evidence. So if you want to call it an again-spin, go ahead. We'll see which way common usage goes. -- Beartooth Paganus, Staffwright, Sciurivore, Historian of Tongues from Way Back What do they know of country, who only country know? -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
