Changes

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 concept 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.

Generally you can leave the ''Revisor Configuration'' field unchanged unless you have created your own configuration file. The ''Configuration Section to Use'' drop down menu provides a way to select the desired Fedora version and architecture. Scroll through the list until you find the correct configuration to use. The ''Destination Directory'' field specifies where the re-spin images will be located when the creation process is complete. Change this to a suitable location if the default destination is not acceptable.
