    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.
