Comment (by adamwill):
I can build live images if needed. Actually, you probably could too, it's
actually very simple to do. You basically just need a git checkout of
spin-kickstarts:
http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=spin-kickstarts.git
and the livecd-tools package installed. Then you run a command something
like this:
livecd-creator -c /path/to/spin-kickstarts/fedora-live-desktop.ks -v -f
my_awesome_live -t /home/adamw/local/live/tmp/
--cache=/home/adamw/local/live/cache/
-c is the kickstart to use, -v is verbose, -f is the filename and label to
use for the resulting image, -t specifies the temporary directory and
--cache specifies the cache directory (I think otherwise it uses /tmp and
/var/something; I do this so the temp stuff can be re-used on subsequent
attempts and the cache doesn't overflow my smaller / partition).
To do your customizations, you can take advantage of kickstart inclusion.
Create a new kickstart file which includes the official kickstart you want
to base your image on, and adds your customizations. So I have this
kickstart file which just adds a couple of repos, for instance:
--------------
%include spin-kickstarts/fedora-livecd-desktop.ks
repo --name=side --baseurl=file:///home/adamw/local/repo2/$basearch [[BR]]
repo --name=bleed
--baseurl=http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/mash/bleed/$basearch
--------------
Or one which adds a package:
--------------
%include spin-kickstarts/fedora-livecd-desktop.ks
repo --name=side --baseurl=file:///home/adamw/local/repo/$basearch [[BR]]
#repo --name=bleed
--baseurl=http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/mash/bleed/$basearch
%packages [[BR]]
rendercheck [[BR]]
%end
--------------
anyway, that's the basic idea.
