[Fedora-spins] revisor vs livecd-creator

[DON.RAIKES at oracle.com]

Jereon,

Thanks so much for the quick reply.  I figured that livecd-tools would suite my purposes, but in an effort to expand my knowledge, I was testing revisor last night. I did try the --cli mode, and the process ran most of the way through but in the end it ran into some errors. I don't have the error list on this computer so I can't forward the errors, but it was something about packages already installed.

As for the accessibility, I would be happy to test anything you get working and to help in any way i can.

First of all, as the developer of revisor, I'm very sorry to not have 
paid any attention to accessibility. I'll need to look into orca and 
make sure the GUI is actually accessible. I'm very sorry, as this has 
been neglect on my part entirely.

Revisor though also has a command line interface, which for the time 
being you may be able to use. Open up a terminal and use revisor --cli 
to tempt it to not start the GUI at all.

Revisor uses livecd-creator and heavily depends on it. They're similar 
in many ways, yet different in so many other. Sometimes, under special 
circumstances mostly having to do with special use-cases, Revisor does 
something a little different from livecd-tools.

Final advice; to just create a livecd, use livecd-tools. If you have 
challenges beyond the scope of livecd-tools, use Revisor.

Kind regards,
