Gee I was referring to the mirrors that are doing this for free. Not your drive space. Ta' know downloading, storing, keeping duplicate packages, stuff like that.

I don't recall | seeing official Fedora jigdoes around. There are no official Fedora CD sets for Fedora 8, that I know of, available. I would trust the ones from the site I recommended. Did you actually read the pages? The jigdo uses *your* already official downloaded Fedora DVD packages and downloads *official* updated packages from *official* Fedora mirrors to replace the old ones. And then makes new iso(s). These are not *trust me* isos by some third party. - -- ~ David -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (MingW32) iEYEARECAAYFAkeWjMEACgkQAO0wNI1X4QF01wCdGRIdZjvtlFHyi+ut2YoIUppV JQEAoM7rJBj3o4g9BDOf09+EDvn3wErc =bBnN -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
