Cool, thanks for doing this.

I'd nuke this one too. Along with modifying the desktop livecd ks file
to completely disable the firewall. Should be easy enough, I think the
kickstart syntax has a shortcut for this.
(The rationale for why the above is the right thing to do for the
_desktop_ livecd can be found in the archives for this list and the
archives for fedora-devel-list. Please familiarize yourself with these
threads before flaming. Thanks.)
Has anyone talked with the s-c-firewall maintainer and other
interested parties to see what could be done to change the model by
which it works? E.g.:
* Punching holes where needed to support Avahi, user file sharing, ...
* Setting networks up for trust, so you could operate more freely on
your home wireless, but be less trusting at a new wireless network
you don't own
From what I hear, Thomas Woerner was interested in collaborating on
these features.
