Anaconda crashes when selecting the keyboard

Hi,
I am trying to create a minimal livecd with live cd creator. Here is the
kickstart file.

%end
Everything works file in livecd-creator end, When i started anaconda using
'liveinst', it shows me the language selection screen. On clicking next on
language selection secreen i get "className=KeyboardWindow" error . Is it a
problem with my ks file or anaconda?

streamlining fedora remix creation
by Valent Turkovic
Hi,
as you probably know I work on Fusion Linux Fedora Remix (www.fusionlinux.org).
My biggest problem is lack of sysadmin and development knowledge and
because of that I have to do lots of things maniually, and I know they
can be automated and streamlined but have no idea where to start.
If you work on a simple Fedora Remix then all you do is done via
simple edits in kickstart but when you go further than that things get
very complicated very quickly. For example if you want to use make
some system changes or provide additional files then you need to
create new rpm package, manage .spec files from rpm packages as they
evolve, rebuild new rpm packages, upload them to your repository and
rebuild repo metadata.
I currently do all this manually and that is just wrong, time
consuming and not open to other contributors.
If anybody can help us out by providing some guidance, best practices
and tutoring that would be awesome. We would help with creating wiki
pages and blog post to further spread this knowledge and help more
people create their own Fedora Remixes.
Cheers,
Valent.

Livecd installer fails on F15 remixes?
by Valent Turkovic
Hi guys,
are you having problems with Live CD Installer? I get F15 iso to build
and it works ok as a live image but can't install it.
Here is the crash of liveinst :
[root@localhost ~]# liveinst
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/anaconda-cleanup", line 41, in <module>
from pyanaconda.cmdline import InstallInterface
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/cmdline.py", line
25, in <module>
import parted
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/parted/__init__.py", line 53,
in <module>
from partition import Partition
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/parted/partition.py", line
249, in <module>
partitionFlag[__flag] = _ped.partition_flag_get_name(__flag)
ValueError: Invalid flag provided.

249, in <module>
partitionFlag[__flag] = _ped.partition_flag_get_name(__flag)
ValueError: Invalid flag provided.
Should I report this issue as a new bug? Do your remixes of F15 have
working live installer?
Cheers,
Valent.
