	Great! Many thanks.

	I realize it takes time to produce detailed documentation; till 
you do, I have some questions which are either pretty dumb, or apt to 
help you write, or both. No reply required if my first stab, detailed 
below, seems pretty sure to complete normally; I'm antsy, of course, but 
that's *my* problem.

	Following the yum install, as root, I tried jigdo http://
jigdo.fedoraunity.org/templates/Fedora-8-Everything/Fedora-8-
Everything.jigdo and then fed the same URL back into the box it gave me.

	The process seems to be continuing. Already there is a file in my 
home directory (where I told jigdo to put it) called jigdo-ULNdTFbcnQo, 
belonging to root and showing a lock in the nautilus view. 

	The initial jigdo box soon got down to showing me two lines both 
saying "retrieving template." I hope it isn't already wrong to have two!

	Highlighting either one, step 2 seems to have a problem. It tells 
me to choose either simple selection by country name -- and won't let me 
choose a country -- or Advanced, and wants Debian (which I know nothing 
of, and am not asking for) and/or non-US entries. (I gave it one.)

	Clicking Step 3 shows me the two "retrieving template" lines 
again. It also says "saving to root/Fedora-8-i386-Everything-CD10.iso"! I 
guess I wait for that to announce completion, move it to my own 
directory, chown it, and launch a DVD burner. (I want to be able to burn 
the DVD as user, and not be root any more than I can help.)
 
> And yes, F8 Re-Spins do upgrades.

	Oh, good, oh good, oh good : I very much prefer that for this 
machine. 

	Many many thanks!
