how to create kickstart file that will include TeXlive, development tools, kernel-devel, etc

[Antonio Olivares]

On the thread named 
   Re: Remixing Fedora 8
Chitlesh shared his detailed procedure to
create/generate a Fedora-Electronic-Lab Live CD.  I
followed his details and it generated an awesome
livecd with KDE.  
Here's his response to Karl:

You might be interested how I created the Fedora
Electronic Lab. I've
detailed my procedure:

Please do use a F8(devel) (aka rawhide) box to create
your livecds.

Question:

Can someone shed some light as to generate a kickstart
file like Chitlesh's to generate a livecd with
TeXlive, TeXMaker or Kile depending on whether one
uses Gnome or KDE, maxima, xmaxima and Wvmaxima which
needs/requires gnuplot, wine, etc. if possible with
the development tools as well to generate modules when
needed/compile programs that need kernel-devel
package, etc.  Size of the livecd does not matter as I
can use a liveDVD.  I have used Kadishi before and
today was my first adventure with live-cd tools as I
have not generated a livecd for quite a while.  I do
follow the list and appreciate the contributions by
all the persons here.

TIA,

Antonio

If you install livecd-tools, you'll see a whole batch of configs
in /usr/share/livecd-tools.  From there, it should be pretty
straight-forward to build on top of an existing config by either copying
and creating your own file or just even having a config that is
  
  %include /usr/share/livecd-tools/livecd-fedora-desktop.ks
  %packages
  kile
  gnuplot
  %end

Then, as the README in livecd-tools say, you just run with
  livecd-creator --config=/path/to/my-config.ks

Jeremy,

Thank you for your reply, I have done as you have
suggested, kile install, maxima installs, but tetex
shows up.  Wasn't TeXLive going to replace tetex?
LiveCd works well, except that it has tetex instead of
TeXLive.  

Should I manually put in 

@packages
texlive-texmf-latex-2007-0.13.fc8
texlive-texmf-errata-common-2007-0.9.fc8
texlive-texmf-2007-0.13.fc8
texlive-texmf-errata-2007-0.10.fc8
texlive-texmf-dvips-2007-0.13.fc8
texlive-fonts-2007-0.13.fc8
texlive-texmf-errata-dvips-2007-0.10.fc8
texlive-dvips-2007-0.13.fc8
texlive-texmf-fonts-2007-0.13.fc8
texlive-2007-0.13.fc8
texlive-texmf-common-2007-0.12.fc8
texlive-texmf-errata-fonts-2007-0.10.fc8
texlive-latex-2007-0.13.fc8
texlive-xdvi-2007-0.12.fc8
texlive-texmf-errata-latex-2007-0.10.fc8

which are the ones present when I look at my
installation 

[olivares@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa texlive
texlive-2007-0.13.fc8
[olivares@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa texlive*
texlive-texmf-latex-2007-0.13.fc8
texlive-texmf-errata-common-2007-0.9.fc8
texlive-texmf-2007-0.13.fc8
texlive-texmf-errata-2007-0.10.fc8
texlive-texmf-dvips-2007-0.13.fc8
texlive-fonts-2007-0.13.fc8
texlive-texmf-errata-dvips-2007-0.10.fc8

That has been postponed due to some licensing issues and delays in reviews.
