Something along these lines might make a nice project for someone.
Whenever I install FC, I end up downloading the ISO images,
installing -- after a few weeks it seems that many of the packages have
been updated, so I do hundreds of megabytes worth of downloading. This
isn't the end of the world on my DSL line, but it's an annoyance.
It would be nice if someone respun Fedora with the latest rpms every
month, every week, whatever. It's probably not that hard to do -- I
guess it's just a matter of setting up your directories for spinning a
distribution, and putting in the latest RPM directory from the mirror
sites, right? And, of course, testing it to make sure that it all
works through firstboot.
Doing that many respins will cause that every user have downloaded a
different image. I really, really hope (as one who often tries to help
out newbies on forums etc) that that never happens. But one respin
"mid-life" of the distro, would be OK (or after serious bugs *affecting
installation seriously*) are fixed. But please name the images carefully
(something in the line of "fedora-core-4-update1-disk1.iso"). Or have a
posibillity to use "additional disks" with other versions of
packages/install kernel/anaconda/etc.
Just label them really good.
