Welcome surprise - the livecd-iso-to-disk utility included in
livecd-tools works well with pungi-created CDs, booting normally into
anaconda.
Now, I only have to figure out how to get anaconda to accept the repo
that's in the CD/USB disk to complete a base install.
cheers,

Time to qualify this. I can get anaconda to start, and with a trivial
patch to livecd-iso-to-disk I can get all the files in place. Anaconda
doesn't seem to find images/stage2.img however.
When it asks "where is your install media" I can point it to
/dev/sdb1, and it works. Providing a root=UUID=<vol_id> and
rootfstype=vfat does not seem to work. I don't want to write
/dev/<unportabledeviceid> in the syslinux.cfg file though.
Is there a kernel cmdline that is portable and read by anaconda? If I
can set that during the setup of the usb stick, we are sorted.
cheers,
m

The script is for livecds. Trying to keep it working for more
variations than that isn't really something that's interesting or
sustainable. There are already too many branches and special cases as
it is in there. So while it may sort of work today, I don't in any way
want to guarantee that it will tomorrow
Also, the shell script should hopefully be getting used less by people
in preference for lmacken's nicer python util/UI.

No prob. I'll make a fork of it, rename it installcd-iso-to-disk.
Also, the shell script should hopefully be getting used less by

Google led me to https://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator -- looks
nice enough, but I need an automatable, text-config-driven build
toolchain that runs on headless boxes.

And I have no problem at all with someone maintaining such a script. In
fact, I'd encourage it even :-)

The idea is that it should have a command line interface also. If it
doesn't, throw stones at Luke until he finishes it ;-)

Hey,
your script is welcome with Revisor, a automatable, text-config-driven
build toolchain that runs on headless boxes, as well as a nice GUI for
Joe Average users (which we're not).
I'll help you write a module to enable your particular use-case if you
like. Care to elaborate?
Kind regards,
Jeroen van Meeuwen
