Ok, I have egg on my face. I'm just glad that I discovered it before
you did. The "everthing respin" is not a respin, just a spin. :-)
If you use the above jigdo link, the stuff inside is from the original
Fedora 7 release, dated 13th November 2007. So, I've downloaded
alotabits for nothing. Oh well. Learned how to jigdo.

Ah well, I wonder if you wound up with proper .iso files or were
they .iso.tmp? And it is not clear to me that jigdo is really working
for Fedora yet.
