Are you wanting a respin of 9, or making a respin of the live CD for 9?

I would have thought you'd just download the original and new 9 files into some place, and build from there. If your "creation" command refers to a filepath for your existing 7 installation, then it'd be recreating that, instead. > I see now the fastest thing to do is install F9, run yum update, and > forget about making the updated F9 dvd. In the past, when I've installed an OS and there were lots of updates that'd be applied, post-install. I preferred to make a really minimal initial install, then update from there. That seemed the least painful method, to me. I can see why any install always starts from the initial packages, then updates, as that set of packages has been tested together (hopefully). Whereas doing an install with a package list that gets the latest version of each package, first go, wouldn't have been tested, and could easily fall apart in a heap. But it'd be nice if it *could* work that way, without having to make a respin (if you picked such an option, and wanted to do a network install). -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.25.9-76.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
