I'm not too sure what was happening the first time I tried, I must have had a 'brain/eyes problem', because it does seem to be using the cache correctly now. :-( My next issue... now that I can re-create a spin, is that I've tried various F8 spins and I can't get them to work 'right', Ie. none come up with a GUI. I've tried: livecd-fedora-8-desktop.ks livecd-fedora-8-kde.ks and 'kde' comes up with a text login (that I can't log into. What username/password?) and 'desktop' shows me an X config error, but when viewing the details, I can't scroll to see the whole error log. So I've moved on to spinning 'livecd-fedora-desktop.ks'. At least that come up with the GUI, and I can try customizing it from there. (I need the GUI for the purposes of _my_ spin.) Unfortunately its Gnome (personally, I'm anti-Gnome) and F9 and Rawhide, but at least I can move forwards with it. (Or at least try)
