I want to create a customised fedora install image, with lots of rpms left out, lots of 3rd party ones added and some post install customisation. Up until F14 I've been using home grown scripts, but these seem to need revising with every release, so I want to start doing this the "official" way.
I looked at http://spins.fedoraproject.org/support, but the information here seems a little out of date. From what I can gather
* livecd-creator is the tool to use, even for an install cd * revisor does not work on F14 or F15 (error is "Cannot find anaconda-runtime in /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime" and the bugzilla entry indicates it is now deprecated).
On my newly installed F15 box, livecd-creator --config=/usr/share/spin-kickstarts/fedora-install-fedora.ks --fslabel=Fedora-LiveCD --cache=/var/cache/live
fails with
Error creating Live CD : Unable to install: Could not run transaction.
Should I be using something else? If I should be using livecd-creator, is there any documentation for it, other than the overview on the spins page? Has anyone already done this with F14 or F15 and can share their recipe?
Any help will be gratefully received.

My suggestion is use mock and pungi - I do this all the time .. I am creating for example an F14 build for Sandy Bridge - which has newer kernel, and latest mesa, drm and xorg.
Details on doing this have been posted a few times ... it works well.
Follow the usual instructions for building an updated DVD (which basically inluces the updates repo in addition to the install repo).
Then add whatever you need to add in a private local repo - make sure you satisfy all the dependencies in your local repo or it will fail.
