Building LiveCDs for Fedora from CentOS

We have our development servers here where I work that are running CentOS 
5.2 64-bit on them.  One of our projects has a LiveCD that we build and 
provide.  It is currently built on a Fedora 8 PC that I have but we'd like 
to move to Fedora 11 or 12.

What I'd like to do is put the Fedora 11 RPMs on our server, run 
createrepo to create a repository, and use livecd-creator on that server 
to build the Fedora 11 LiveCD.  Is this approach possible?  Are there any 
"gotchas" I need to be aware of if it is possible?  The LiveCD is a 32-bit 
implementation BTW.

Thanks,
Harry

You will run into a SquashFS major version bump incompatible between 
Fedora on the live media and CentOS on the server. You should use a 
Fedora release greater then or equal to Fedora 11 on the build host, 
even though you can still host the repositories used on the EL-5 server.
