I am a newcomer to the free media program, since December 2008. I am
here to help. At this point I have more questions than opinions. Sure
there are some historical background that is unknown for me. I think
it is better to ask early than to complain later. I will love to be
able to distribute media up-to-date, to save people (me included) from
having to download 500+ Mb to update a fresh install. Specially where
internet connections does not help much to speed update.
It is Unity re-spin official fedora?
The Fedora Unity Re-Spins are not official Fedora media, but we do have
trademark approval from the board so that it can be called "Fedora".
Unity re-spin is available using jigdo, or at least it seems to be.
Why there is no jigdo for official media?
Actually there is jigdo's for the official media.
Kind regards,
