[Fedora-livecd-list] Success creating livecd with kadishi

Dear folks,
    I have tried to send some emails to the list and
did not see them come in, then I realized that I
screwed up.  I sent the emails to
fedora-livecd at redhat.com which might not exist. 
Anyhow, the livecd that I have created works
fantastically and I am thrilled to have it!   

I have tried it on four computers with different
results.  On a dell optiplex 240, and a dell GX 520
the kernel complained about a bug, which I will have
to reproduce, unless yahoo sends me the bounce
messages so I can relay them back to this list.  

I connected from home from the livecd through modem
connection.  The only problems I encountered were with
the display.  Instead of using system-config-display I
used
# Xorg -configure
To test configuration type X - ????? 
# X - /root/xorg.conf.new
# cp /xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
replace xorg.conf [y/n] y
then used vi to introduce

HorizSync    30.0 - 80.0
VertRefresh  50.0 - 180.0
Option       "DPMS"

and I get excellent resolution after I adjust from
1920x1200 or 1920x1080 and I change it to 1600x1200
which is the highest resolution that the ViewSonic
Graphics Series G75f supports.

The computer works fine and only some little problems
that I see in the install.log file that some packages
failed to install.  Should I send the whole
install.log file or parts of it like the following,

In the previous emails I tried to send, I asked the
following:

Will Kadishi adopt an installer?

i.e, a script to install onto a free ext2/ext3
partition and then use yum to apply updates.

Several other useful software which is in
Fedora-Extras how can we make it available to include
in the livecd's generated by Kadishi?

I thank you very much for help and am very happy to
have made a Fedora livecd with Kadishi.  I am going to
give copies to my friends and colleagues.  I have to
work on customization and make variations ie,
GNOME/KDE/ etc.
