[Fedora-livecd-list] Re: Fedora-livecd-list Digest, Vol 27, Issue 15

Dale, I should have been clearer.  Since most of the development has  
been going into Revisor, I've been using it (essentially) the way  
you'd use livecd.  I point it at my kickstart and tell it to go.  I  
could share my kickstart but it's pointed at a repository with a  
private IP so you'd crash and burn pretty quickly.  But, if you  
install Revisor, in /etc/revisor/conf.d/ there are several kickstart  
files that seem to work quite nicely.

I'm curious about the difference between the chroot'd environment and  
the way the post section is run under Revisor.  I thought the later  
was chroot'd.  I've got some commands (chkconfig, e.g.) in there that  
assume I'm chrooted and work.  Of course, I probably just had a  
Willie E Coyote moment and looked down (holds up sign that says  
Momma) ;-)
