[Thincrust-devel] Making an appliance?

[Bryan Kearney]

We are working on tooling which is extending livecd tools. Is what you 
need "just" a live cd? If so.. perhaps you could look at some of the 
small kickstart files here 
(http://git.et.redhat.com/?p=act.git;a=tree;f=config;h=6f4b7850899dde09f6dcf6d023609f84c9e5b7da;hb=HEAD) 
and pipe those through livecd-creator? That would give you a pretty 
small and quick livecd. If you added a first-boot task which took you 
straight into the snake-tui perhaps that would solve the problem?

Lemme know if I have mis-understood what you are looking to do.
