I made the necessary changes to update from fc17 version of the below kickstart file (top 20 lines only for bandwidth sake).

This worked perfectly under fc17. but after making the package changes in the packages section for fc19 and building the images.. Voila! No more separate home dir.. no error messages, no home file in LiveOS on the resulting iso and althought the livecd-iso-to-disk will create the home.img on the usb stick when I make it.. no home is ever mounted.

Am I doing something horribly wrong here or did something get broken fc17 -> fc19?
I tried a reinstall of the livecd-tools package and no joy there either. I saw no reference in the archives so I presume I have something wrong here.. but I would expect the ks file to fail validation or the livecd-creator to throw an error... so I'm operating on a severe shortage of viable troubleshooting data. Or am I just  looking at it too hard?
