For the record, I did one of sorts at last.
After long grief, and with much help both here and from RDay's
Fedora Cookbook jigdo page, I got a .iso -- which K3B seemed to do better
at burning than Brasero, especially with poor man's double-DVD-Rs.
I put one into an F8 laptop, which hadn't been updated for a
couple days. It booted, passed the media test in Anaconda (as it had
K3B's), ran anaconda, and claimed to install two things -- a new version
of anaconda itself, and something that went by faster than I could see.
After the obligatory reboot, I did "yum clean all," "rpm --
rebuilddb" (on general principles), and "yum update" -- which got nothing
more.
But the machine and its F8 were both fine, before, during, and
after -- no error messages, and everything still works.
