[Fedora-livecd-list] liveinst , where does it get it's kickstart file from?

[Mohammed_Khan at Dell.com]

You can actually feed liveinst a kickstart by adding a $1 to the end of
the line in liveinst where it invokes anaconda... then you can do
liveinst --kickstart=somefile.cfg and it passes the --kickstart= part to
anaconda.. 

If have not tried to feed it packages this way, but partitioning,
network, password, %post, etc work fine...

Thanks,

Mfk

When I use liveinst, I get grub options that are different than what
was on the original liveCD.  For example, the original LiveCD had
selinux off and no X, the installed version had both.

 I am using the stock anaconda and livecd tools, so perhaps I am
missing some of the patches that would correct this?
