[Fedora-livecd-list] liveinst , where does it get it's kickstart file from?

[Jon Steer]

When I use liveinst, I get grub options that are different than what
was on the original liveCD.  For example, the original LiveCD had
selinux off and no X, the installed version had both.

 I am using the stock anaconda and livecd tools, so perhaps I am
missing some of the patches that would correct this?
