I built a live image for x86_64 using the new syslinux, tigervnc from koji
and a custom anaconda using some changes committed upstream, but not in
a published rpm yet, based on the livecd-desktop ks file with nautilus-sendto
and evince* subtracted due to dependency issues.
I used livecd-iso-to-disk to get the image on a usb device and am using it
now to type this (via ssh). So on at least some level this works. Perl was
not dragged into the package set for the live image.
The x86_64 image is still over size, so people will still need to do some
other cuts to get that down. But it is still a nice size savings (I think
around 15 MB.) This should be particularly nice for people trying to do
very small builds.
