while checking for dependencies. Progress bar goes almost to 100%
and then freezes there (+12 hours). As the box is relatively well
configured (Intel Core Duo, 2GBytes RAM) and as I don't have
problems with Rel. 7, I guess it must be a scalability problem with
the dependency checking in Rel. 8.

The Fedora Unity Re-Spin at http://spins.fedoraunity.org/spins will fix 
this.

Mount the original DVD somewhere, and use:

jigdo-lite --scan /mount/point/of/original/dvd \
http://jigdo.fedoraunity.org/templates/20071218/Fedora-Unity-20071218-8.jigdo
