  i'm sure there's a trivial answer to this but i was just handed an
unlabelled DVD, allegedly of the FC6 respin.  short of comparing some
RPM versions on the DVD, is there an obvious way to tell that this is
the respin and not the original FC6?  thanks.
Look at the kernel rpm - respin is newer.
That's just one package.

oh, i realize it's easy to check with a single RPM comparison.  but
i'm interested in whether the respin release is identified in a more
obvious way.  or is there no value in being able to tell the
difference?

The respins are just accumulation of updates. They dont modify any packages. So the only reasonable way to find out is a straight package list comparison.
