I think having a list of post install items would be all that would be
needed.

Neither. Flash is not Free Software, meaning we can't (re)distribute it
with
the LiveUSB nor with Fedora 9. Installing Flash 10 is pretty easy now,
but
since we can't include it, the question becomes should we just have some
documentation on the website about how to install it (it's only about
five
steps), or should we create some icons/installers that go on root's
desktop that
install it, similar to what was in K12LTSP? If the latter, we'd have to
maintain a repo to store them, or get them into RPM Fusion or some other
repo; I
don't think we could use the Fedora repos because of the license issues
on
Flash, even though we'd just be providing an installer. So, that all
gets
rather messy, which leads one back to just providing a short how-to for
installing Flash. Same is true for some of the other add-ons that came
with
K12LTSP.
