Glad to hear that we already have the infrastructure/plans for it, Jeremy. I didn't know that the rescueCD was installable. This sounds like a marketing mistake of ours: if a contributor didn't know about it, imagine the rest of the world. So maybe it would be better to dub it "Fedora minimal/rescue spin" and start listing it as one of the media we ship. >> Finally, would it be possible to install from minimal and have it download >> *updated* packages instead of the default-release ones?

Right. Just wanted to point out that it makes even more sense to download a minimal spin if months have passed since the release. -d -- Dimitris Glezos Jabber ID: glezos@xxxxxxxxxx, GPG: 0xA5A04C3B http://dimitris.glezos.com/ "He who gives up functionality for ease of use loses both and deserves neither."
