<div dir="ltr">Hi tim:<br> Thanks for your reply.I have build a livecd using livecd-fedora-8-base-desktop.ks file. There were more than 500 packages installed. If I adopt you approach to build the firefox livecd, it's too hard to minimize the iso file. I don't have idea to decide that which packages I need to remove or save and which services were not necessary. I just want to open a firefox browser when the system was booted. No login UI, no external service,no... just a clean desktop with a firefox browser.<br>
I thought it would be a little hard,but it seems very hard.<br><br>Who can give me some suggestion?Any help will be appreciative.<br><br>best regards<br>thanks<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jul 28, 2008 at 1:25 PM, Tim Wood <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:tim.wood@datawranglers.com" target="_blank">tim.wood@datawranglers.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Pollux, if you look through the kickstarts that are included, you'll
find a minimal kickstart. Do not use that as your starting point
because the login is disabled. You probably want to start with the
minimal desktop. Make sure that builds for you. Then, make a copy in
the same directory. Remove one or two packages you're sure you don't
need. For instance, open office. Then build another ISO. If that
works, duplicate your kickstart and repeat the process. When you get a
kickstart that doesn't work, go back to the last one that worked and
try again.<br>
<br>
The kickstart file itself is very similar to the one used for automated
installs of RedHat. If you do a google search, you should be able to
find RedHat's kickstart documentation (hint, make site:<a href="http://redhat.com" target="_blank">redhat.com</a> part
of your google search).<br>
<br>
The simplest way to find out what a package does is to pull up a
terminal on a fedora system and have yum tell you. If you wanted to
know what anaconda is:<br>
> yum search anaconda<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi,all friends:<br>
I was assigned a linux livecd task,but I am not familiar with
linux. I have finished a simple fedora livecd following the basic
information I got from here. Now,I have to build a minimal livecd with
firefox, I think I want to write ks file by myself base on kde ks file
and add a firefox package. But this iso file is very large for me. How
can I do? <br>
Thanks for your time? Where can I find the details of package which
I have to install and remove when I build a minimal firefox livecd.<br>
