I have access to F7 systems where I can download the F9 install dvd.
While doing that, I was wondering if it is possible to get a version
of the dvd that includes the updated RPMS. That search leads to the
Fedora Unity community (http://fedorasolved.org) web site, where it
appears there has not been a respin of F9 (only a spin of Everything
as originally created).
Are you wanting a respin of 9, or making a respin of the live CD for 9?
The subject line and this paragraph seem to contradict each other.
Pointers from messages in this list lead to a HOWTO on using the tools
in the livecd-tools package to create a new Fedora dvd.

As far as I can tell, the approach there seems to require me to
install F9, and then use the livecd-tools config file it provides to
build a new DVD.
I would have thought you'd just download the original and new 9 files
into some place, and build from there. If your "creation" command
refers to a filepath for your existing 7 installation, then it'd be
recreating that, instead.
I see now the fastest thing to do is install F9, run yum update, and
forget about making the updated F9 dvd.
In the past, when I've installed an OS and there were lots of updates
that'd be applied, post-install. I preferred to make a really minimal
initial install, then update from there. That seemed the least painful
method, to me.
I can see why any install always starts from the initial packages, then
updates, as that set of packages has been tested together (hopefully).
Whereas doing an install with a package list that gets the latest
version of each package, first go, wouldn't have been tested, and could
easily fall apart in a heap. But it'd be nice if it *could* work that
way, without having to make a respin (if you picked such an option, and
wanted to do a network install).
