But I would guess it is drive space, plus mirror complaints, and no time. ;-) The only place that I know of for Fedora CD's is here. Fedora Unity http://spins.fedoraunity.org/ This site uses jigdo and (I have not done this but I would bet it would work) jigdo would read *your* DVD, download the updated packages, and make the CD's from the updates and the unchanged packages from your DVD. These CDs, should this work, would be up-to-date as of Dec 18, 2007. I have done a DVD to DVD update and jigdo works quite well. - -- ~ David -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (MingW32) iEYEARECAAYFAkeWeNQACgkQAO0wNI1X4QH0BwCg3Efs5fBH7oD+NrqpY+Wnh27r TWIAnjg45UJjgct5rDWjk7l/0yvbpu5l =xALo -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
