Ok. It will be a while before I can (or you maybe) can get a full edit
on it really, and get it into bugzilla. I've put a slightly longer 
description and have
changed ISO to ISO9660 CDROM image.

.SH NAME
kadischi - generate a live ISO9660 CDROM image from an RPM repository
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B kadischi [--text|--graphical] [--kickstart=<kickstart_file>] [-C] [-f]
.I repository ISO9660-image
.B
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B kadischi
generates a live cd iso image from an RPM repository tree by invoking
anaconda passing it the correct options and installing to the build
directory specified. Kadischi will invoke
.BR mkzftree
and
.BR mkisofs
to produce an image that can be written to a CD or DVD ROM disc.
.SH OPTIONS
.IP --text
Run in a textual mode that does not require X.
.IP --graphical
Run in graphical mode.
.IP --kickstart=<kickstart_file>
Read from <kickstart_file> using the installation options
provided in the file for the produced ISO image. This option
can be used with -C to automate builds.
.IP -C
Run strictly in command line mode requiring no user input.
.IP -f
Overwrite an existing ISO9660 CDROM image, if it already exists.
.SH EXAMPLES
.nf
kadischi http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/5/i386/os/ /tmp/fedora-live.iso
.fi
.SH FILES
.I /etc/kadischi/build.conf
.RS
The system wide configuration file. See
.BR kadischi(5)
for more information.
.RE
.I /etc/kadischi/buildstamp
.RS
The build-stamp file. Used for stamping a CD. See
.BR kadischi(5)
for more information.
.SH BUGS
The module shvarFile is not always imported properly or is not imported
sometimes at all, resulting in the build directory needing to be
manually cleaned up.
