I'd use the appliance creator tools (
thincrust.et.redhat.com) -- just so
that it would be easier for more people to develop on it.
Then we can ask them to make it possible to make smaller and smaller
images as needed :)
The toolchain looks nice to use, but I can't use it out-of-the-box. The toolchain
requires the latest releases of at least livecd-tools, pykickstart and yum. Those are not
available in RHEL4 or RHEL5(-epel).
I rebuild at the livecd-tools rpm under RHEL5, but it failed because it requires at least
python 2.5 for the try..except..finally syntax.
Any idea how to handle such build dependencies?

Peter
