mayflower is functionally akin to mkinitrd, except that it makes 
initramfss suitable for booting livecds, as opposed to booting normal 
systems.  It is located in the livecd-tools rpm, and lives in 
/usr/lib/livecd-tools/mayflower.  During livecd-creator, it gets copied 
to the system being built, run in a chroot to create the initramfs, 
which is then put in the livecds isolinux directory and used to boot it.

Query- Does anybody else think its time to create some sort of 
mailinglist distinction between

a) livecd users
b) livecd-tools/revisor users
c) livecd-tools/revisor developers
