[Fedora-livecd-list] specifying kickstart file upon boot of liveCD

[Jon Steer]

I have built a console-based LAMP LiveCD appliance. We use VMs to host the
liveCD during the testing process.

We'd like to be able to specify a kickstart file on the boot line that would
cause either puppet to run or other dynamic configuration tasks to occur
without manual intervention.

On normal bootup of the liveCD, we would expect manual intervention.
