Under linux (and the livecd) the files in user accounts are copied from
/etc/skel. If I don't like stuff in a user folder, I'll remove it
either during post or with the boot script (/etc/rc.d/fedora-live). In
your case, you're going to (of course), nuke
/etc/skel/Desktop/liveinst.desktop<br>

<pre>Could always just move it somewhere else in a %post scriptlet. I think the
anaconda package installs the liveinst program... not really sure, though

Subject: [Fedora-livecd-list] removing "Install to Hard Drive"
option
Hello,
Does anyone know of a way to disable the appearance of the "Install to
Hard Drive" icon on the Live CD user's GNOME desktop? I see that a
"liveinst.desktop" file gets placed in the user's ~/Desktop
directory, but I'm not sure what moves it there. It would be preferable
for us if this file could be kept out of the Desktop directory altogether.
As always, any help and ideas are appreciated.
Thanks,
Todd
