[Fedora-livecd-list] A note about /etc/skel

Hello

I noticed that when I copy a large file into /etc/skel during %post my 
ISO is created correctly but crashes on boot up. The crash happens when 
liveuser is being created and the large file in /etc/skel is copied to 
/home/liveuser. If I boot into single user mode first and delete the 
large file from /etc/skel and then "telinit 5", liveuser is created and 
everything works correctly. I tried to rebuild the ISO using a larger 
root partition but still got the same problem. If I copy the large file 
to /usr/local there is no problem.
Does anyone know if there is some sort of size restrictions on files 
added to /etc/skel ?
