To quote,
"'spin' is one of many jargon words for creating the iso image.(I've
always assumed it came from creating phonograph records and some
association with that, but I really have no idea or data to back up that
assumption and would welcome any correction from anyone with real data...)
By extension, to "respin" is to create a new iso image."
