Comment (by adamwill):

 I can build live images if needed. Actually, you probably could too, it's
 actually very simple to do. You basically just need a git checkout of
 spin-kickstarts:

 http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=spin-kickstarts.git

 and the livecd-tools package installed. Then you run a command something
 like this:

 livecd-creator -c /path/to/spin-kickstarts/fedora-live-desktop.ks -v -f
 my_awesome_live -t /home/adamw/local/live/tmp/
 --cache=/home/adamw/local/live/cache/

 -c is the kickstart to use, -v is verbose, -f is the filename and label to
 use for the resulting image, -t specifies the temporary directory and
 --cache specifies the cache directory (I think otherwise it uses /tmp and
 /var/something; I do this so the temp stuff can be re-used on subsequent
 attempts and the cache doesn't overflow my smaller / partition).

 To do your customizations, you can take advantage of kickstart inclusion.
 Create a new kickstart file which includes the official kickstart you want
 to base your image on, and adds your customizations. So I have this
 kickstart file which just adds a couple of repos, for instance:

 --------------

 %include spin-kickstarts/fedora-livecd-desktop.ks

 repo --name=side --baseurl=file:///home/adamw/local/repo2/$basearch [[BR]]
 repo --name=bleed
 --baseurl=http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/mash/bleed/$basearch

 --------------

 Or one which adds a package:

 --------------

 %include spin-kickstarts/fedora-livecd-desktop.ks

 repo --name=side --baseurl=file:///home/adamw/local/repo/$basearch [[BR]]
 #repo --name=bleed
 --baseurl=http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/mash/bleed/$basearch

 %packages [[BR]]
 rendercheck [[BR]]
 %end

 --------------

 anyway, that's the basic idea.
