Hi Bruno,
I think almost all aspects of my setup can be scripted. (one of the nice
things about linux). Can I use scripting also for live cd mode? Or is it
something I can do only for installation?
I think you misunderstand. When building the live cd image there is an
install process. The image is installed to a loop mounted ext3 (this might
change to ext4 soon) and after the install the ext3 image file is put into
a squashfs file system. Both of those end up getting mounted when running
the livecd.
Installing from the live image on to a system is more of a copy process
(though file systems still have to be laid out) then a normal install
process where packages are installed one at a time.
The upshot is the kickstart install script will be run when the livecd
image is being made. Which I think is what you are hoping for.
I haven't tried playing with the scripting as yet, so I can't help you too
much with specifics. But there is scripting code in the base kickstart for
the livecd image that you could look at.
