One of the common complaints about Linux distributions was that you had to download large installation images containing all kinds of packages that you probably didn't need and wouldn't even include in the resulting installation. These times are now changing and with Fedora you now have the power to create your own Fedora distribution containing just the packages you need. This conpect is known as creating a Re-spin. On Fedora, a re-spin is created using something called Revisor, a graphical based tool designed to take you through the steps necessary to define and create your own Linux distribution. Once you have completed the revisor process you can then create either an installation image, or a live image of your own Fedora distribution.

In this chapter of Fedora Linux Essentials we will look at creating Fedora Re-spins using revisor.
