That's one of my 'focus' point's since live cd's mostly need some special 
applications to be really usefull for a customer.

Question: would it be possible and usefull to add something like an 
'createlivecd' install option to the installer ? 

I currently use a shellscript to create the livecd master - (=/) filesystem on 
a running system from a comps file. (it dropps priviliges to an 'installuser' 
 to prevent damage to the host system and then just runs a relocated rpm 
installation.)

I think it would be nice to do this from the common fedora installer - this 
would greatly ease the creation and maintenance of images for cd's, 
usb-sticks, ext. usb drives etc.).

Maybe there are some other people (like me ;-) who would find it usefull ? 


greetings,
