I think that's going to be the biggest problem here. I talked to Matthias before and he pointed me to this mailing list. But it's pretty dead in here. At least "we don't care" response would help. Anyone?

So I did. The size went from 786 MB to 911 MB. So it jumped a lot, but there is still some space.

I booted the image and tested a basic functionality, everything works.

When modifying fedora-livecd-desktop.ks, it wasn't enough to just comment out "-libreoffice-*" line, it still wasn't installed. But if I added "@libreoffice" to the end of the package section, it worked. I guess the first unsuccessful attempt was caused by "-java-1.7.0-openjdk" line that I didn't comment out. I don't know, I'm not a kickstart expert, you'll know for sure.

Bill, what can be done next? Maybe we could ask on devel (or other) list for some interested people in order to bring a new blood to the Desktop SIG [1] and revive it a bit? That could improve the discussion.
