And yes it does contain everything but does it contain the updates replacing the original packages? That would have been an 'everything re-spin'. If there had been an 'everything spin'. In that mass of 'stuff' that you downloaded there is 'stuff' that you will never use and never find a use for in your time. That's why Fedora did *not* do this. Call it a "an again-spin"? Nah. I'd call it a waste of time. Some of those packages were already out of date when fedora 8 was released. More of them are out of date today. And more will be tomorrow. And the next day. Fedora Linux is fluid. Changes everyday. Again. An "again-spin"? If it Walks like a duck. Looks like a duck. Clucks like a chicken. Ain't a duck.
