Hi Aidan
Thank you for the prompt reply.
For the topic I was reading, I was asking questions as if I am a first time Linux user who was told, «go build an ISO file»
As I mentioned, I tweaked or rephrased a sentence or two, to make it more useful to non-English speakers.
I could also help with the French editing (My French is Québec's version). French is a very very precise language.
Any lawyer would tell you that a contract written in French is "tighter", ie, more precise than one written in English.

We also must not write to put the reader to sleep.
As I mentioned to Bex, I like to see a completed document. I am not too into your writing tools. Years ago I used IBM's gml and
took a dislike to the labor involved with repeated "running, reviewing the output, tweaking" until ...
I am glad to help
Regards

My experience is that it _should not_ be anything but a Fedora system.
It should be at least be the target Fedora version or higher. Ideally,
you always run the target version's livemedia-creator+Anaconda, which
is why Koji uses mock to set up the environment and then run it inside
of there.
In addition, it's a very bad idea to recommend using "createrepo"
instead of "createrepo_c", due to the former not supporting most of
Fedora's newer RPM features and potentially weird things happening
there.
If you're using livecd-creator, you can get away with a lot more,
since you're no longer sensitive to Anaconda's fragilities and the
build engine is DNF.I believe we may be talking about different servers. The page seems to indicate the CentOS server is used to serve the bits.regards,bex
