	I seem to have installed F8 on the last of my own machines on 
December 4th -- root's inbox starts then. On the first machine I did, it 
starts November 10.

	I chawed till I broke teeth on so many different sites (including 
that one) that my head still swims; without Mr. Day's Fedora Cookbook, 
I'd've given up -- I all but had when I found it.

	Let me correct what I just said : my head *spins* -- eternal 
present, as the grammarians say -- as in Euclid; not swims. 

	It so happens that I unthinkingly ran jigdo as root; and 
root's .bash_history shows I did it with this command : 

jigdo-lite http://jigdo.fedoraunity.org/templates/20071218/Fedora-
Unity-20071218-8.jigdo

	That gave me the 21 choices below. (At least, it does now; I 
won't swear to exactly how many it gave yesterday.)

	Of those, I picked number 6 (emphasized) above.

	The .iso I eventually got and burned to disk calls itself 
"FU 20071218 8 i386 DVD"

	Well, I take that "20071218" in the name of mine to be a date.

	Note that the whole thing failed dismally on me twice, even after 
being let run all night both times; that hasn't helped my confusion, and 
I may have been *mis*calling the one that works "everything" because of 
it. I'm sure at least one of the failures used that word in its name.

	Fwiw, the folder Packages on my present DVD contains "2030 items, 
totalling 3.0 GB," it says.

	I can't look at the failures; I deleted them, for fear they'd 
mess me up if/when I ever tried again.

	I hope some of this is some help.
