RES: [Ambassadors] F8 Live CD respin without first boot wizard?!?

[Jeroen van Meeuwen]

I've been getting reports from Re-Spins in which first-boot / smolt is 
b0rked, too. It's not a LiveCD or Installation Media issue though, 
neither in composing nor installation; it really is a problem caused by 
the related packages: judging from the traceback it's related to smolt 
and firstboot.

I suggest you log a bug upstream if there isn't one already (I haven't 
seen it).

Kind regards,

Jeroen van Meeuwen
