[Fedora-livecd-list] Problem creating livecd from a custom config

[Vladimir Shebordaev]

Tim,

you have tried rather outdated David's livecd tools.

Please checkout the ones from FC7 Extras development (source) 
tree. Jeremy is working hard to make our lives easier.

If you are running FC6 or earlier you will probably need to 
manually backport "livecd" anaconda install method if you need 
it. The backport is quite straightforward. Also you will 
obviously need to upgrade pykickstart package to the version 
0.96... I fear to bore you, but it must be working.

In the hope it helps.

Regards,
Vladimir
