I gotta ask this ...

[Fezzik Giant]

Thanks Alan!

Build all the packages: well how, exactly, does one do this? Say I'm at RH9 
and I want to build the Fedora Core from source. When I build the RPMs then 
the result will overwrite my RH9 binaries, will it not?

What I'm looking for is a documented sequence of steps, like "Linux From 
Scratch" that will result in an ISO of Fedora Core. Starting with the source 
RPMs, of course :)

As for the Todo list item, is this actively being worked on? Who would I 
contact to offer my help?
