Fedora Live CD...cool!

Never thought I would see the day, making a Fedora Live CD! I used different references, but the main one I stuck to was the HOW TO create a live cd page on Fedora's website (it was very helpful).

To personalize this live cd, I wanted to edit my own kickstart. Instead of starting from scratch, I found a bunch of kick start files in the /usr/share/spin-kickstarts / directory. I decided to use the fedora-livecd-desktop.ks. I copied this kickstart file to my home directory and began surgery!

I wanted to include my rpm that I had packaged a while ago into this, so I linked the rpm using...

repo --name="apvlahopoulos" --baseurl=http://scotland.proximity.on.ca/apvlahopoulos/repo

To avoid getting sued, I made sure I removed any fedora related branding and instead added the generic branding...

# add generic branding
generic-release
generic-logos
generic-release-notes

#Remove Fedora Branding
-fedora-release
-fedora-logos
-fedora-release-notes

I ran the livecd-creator command, and voilaaaaaaa!
