This doesn't directly answer your question, but at this point I wouldn't recommend using that image anyway. It is relatively easy to make a new version incorporating updates pushed out since the release. I made my own games spin a couple of weeks ago to give to some friends, and I'll be doing another one before Christmas. You'll want a local copy of Everything and Updates which are 11.1 GB and 1.7 GB, respectively. (You might also want a copy of Updates Testing which is .6 GB) Then install livecd-tools. There is a sample kickstart file in /usr/share/livecd-tools/livecd-fedora-8-games.ks. You can add or remove games from a copy of that file. That file includes another ks file that defines the repos to be used. You want to include that file into your copy of the games ks file and then change the repo definitions to point to your local repos. Then you can run livecd-creator. This will result in a bootable dvd image.
