Customised F10 iso with updated packages - how?

[mike cloaked]

I decided naively that it would be nice to make a new version of the f10 DVD
iso that included the packages that were updated since F10 release - a
personal re-spin if you like.  However despite trying to google for jigdo
options, as well as revisor and pungi I am now rather confused as to whether
it is a job that can be done without too much effort.

What I naively thought was that I could loop mount the original F10 DVD iso
and then run jigdo-file to create a modified iso using the rpm files in
/var/cache/yum/updates/packages/ to generate new .jigdo and .template files
that could then be used by jigdo-lite to generate a respin iso - but it
seems that it is not as simple as that! Perhaps I just did not understand
the documentation I read!

Can anyone point me to a howto that will allow me to create this kind of
"more-current" f10 iso so that further installs on other machines might
a) avoid having to run yum update to pull in lots of files, and only a small
number in updates repors since I create the new iso after the install and 
b) avoid some of the known serious bugs such as the scsi disk non-bootable
machine bug with updated nash/mkinitrd

It would be nice if this were possible for a relatively experienced linux
user but who does not have the detailed knowledge about this specific task.

Thanks

Use pungi,
By using this tool, I can build a install CD for XFCE desktop with all
updates. Have a look at http://tinyurl.com/8mqutd

You can take the concept and apply it to DVD Media, just take the DVD 
kickstart file instead of the livecd kickstart!

Thanks for the link which is useful - though it seems to concentrate largely
on live media. My primary interest in this case is to make install media but
include updated rpms. It looks like revisor will be the optional tool so I
will need to do some reading about it...

They are called Fedora Remixes:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Classroom/Creating_Fedora_Remix

and they are easy to make, I made one for my school's computer club which had 
some devel libraries we needed!
