[Fedora-livecd-list] Some questions from a livecd newer

[Tim Wood]

Pollux, if you look through the kickstarts that are included, you'll 
find a minimal kickstart.  Do not use that as your starting point 
because the login is disabled.  You probably want to start with the 
minimal desktop.  Make sure that builds for you.  Then, make a copy in 
the same directory.  Remove one or two packages you're sure you don't 
need.  For instance, open office.  Then build another ISO.  If that 
works, duplicate your kickstart and repeat the process.  When you get a 
kickstart that doesn't work, go back to the last one that worked and try 
again.

The kickstart file itself is very similar to the one used for automated 
installs of RedHat.  If you do a google search, you should be able to 
find RedHat's kickstart documentation (hint, make site:redhat.com part 
of your google search).

The simplest way to find out what a package does is to pull up a 
terminal on a fedora system and have yum tell you.  If you wanted to 
know what anaconda is:
 > yum search anaconda
