FYI- no fedora-logos behaviour
by Jane Dogalt
For anyone interested-
I just tried doing an rpm -e --nodeps fedora-logos to a fresh system, to see
what would happen.
1) grub handled it very gracefully
2) rhgb handled it very gracefully
3) gdm handled it well, but not perfectly. I.e. threw up a dialog about the
missing theme, and then after clicking OK, went to it's default theme. Pretty
good though.
4) /usr/share/backgrounds/images/default.png is the 1600x1200 default gnome
fedora logo background, which is not owned by fedora-logos*.rpm
5) fedora main menu button is also not apparently owned by fedora-logos*.rpm
I'm guessing 4&5 are 'bugs'. And easily enough replaceable. Likewise I'm sure
3 is pretty trivial to fix as well.
I imagine it's far more challenging to make a fedora derivative distribution
that includes the anaconda installer, than it is to make a derivative livecd
which uses the installer during the derivation process, but not
post-distribution.
Basically what I'm saying is that this bodes very well for all the
livecd-generator output redistribution issues, which are apparently irrelevent
if you do an rpm -e --nodeps fedora-logos*.rpm to your system image before
distributing it.

resource: X11-auto-config, another unionfs imp, CentOS
by Jane Dogalt
I just ran across this page, which has some good info for fedora based livecd
generator developers. Specifically, this is a dell implementation of a fedora
based (centos-4.3 really) livecd, using squashfs+unionfs, with the following
interesting choice for X11 auto configuration-
echo "Trying to auto configure X"
system-config-display --noui --reconfig --set-resolution=1024x768
