Thanks for that info....
Where I find newer ISOs are nice is in the event of a complete, clean,
reinstall....
Periodically I wipe the entire system, and if I can reinstall from ISO
images without then having to apply all sorts of updates... well, that just
seems "easier". :-)
What I WOULD like is if the /home directory etc were all in a separate
partition so when I says "reformat" to do a clean install, all MY stuff is
not affected.
There's probably ways to do that, I just want it to be "automatic" when
doing a "reformat this all automatically" for me...

I can see that every-one wants iso's... Well if you have a DVD-R I can
give you the command to generate an ISO from the distribution tree:
cd /$distribution_tree
mkisofs -A Fedora\ Core\ 1/i386 -V Fedora\ Core\ 1/i386 -J -R -v -T -o
fedora-core.RC1-i386-DVD.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c
isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table .
/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/implantisomd5 fedora-core.RC1-i386-DVD.iso
You can use this command to generate a ~2.2GB iso which is excellent for
VMWare or DVD-R's...
Ntz...Ntz...Ntz... so impatient... should warn you though that there are
absolutely no differences from an updated Severn Test3...
Your choice...
