One think I would like to talk about with livecd-creator would be a way 
to setup the livecd to have uninterrupted boot.

The problem is per architecture this is difficult to do.  x86_64 and 
i686, you can add a total_timeout=1 flag to the syslinux.cfg file.

For systems that use grup, you could put in a md5 passwd that can not be 
generated.

I originally wrote a patch for this for passing this from the kick start 
but I am not thinking it could be done via the command.

The question is, am I the only one who thinks this is interesting?
