Custom version of anaconda?

[Andy Burns]

Hello,

I wanted to create a Fedora Live CD so tried kadischi, I'm running
FC5/rawhide, I installed all the pre-requisites as shown on
http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/KadischiDoc

When I try to build a CD from a local FC5 http repo it checks the repo
and then I get an error from anaconda

error bad argument --livecd: unknown option

Does kadischi require a custom version of anaconda, or have some changes
not been carried through into the FC5 version of anaconda?

I have anaconda 10.90.25 on x86_64

There is no mention of "--livecd" within the anaconda script with all
the other options

p.s. Is there any reason (other than time!) why kadischi isn't or can't
be installed as an RPM in Extras?

oops, I overlooked the part of the installation notes that says

"Yet another thing you would have to do in order
    to run the application is to patch anaconda"

trying again ...

OK, one hunk of the patch wouldn't directly apply to FC5's anaconda, but 
it was trivial to apply it by hand, kadischi then runs and starts 
anaconda, but gets to a "Partitioning Type" screen where it won't accept 
any of the options, presumably due to changes in FC5's anaconda more 
steps need to be skipped?

I tried copying some of the "likely" looking dispatch.skipStep() calls 
from the "if flags.rootpath" statement, but my stumbles weren't good 
enough, any suggestions (either on what to try, or on how to trace what 
anaconda is doing)
