I made a fc5t3 iso with kadischi several weeks ago, but only through the 
anaconda gui. In my case, I can't use fc5 and kadischi until kickstart 
works. No big deal, I can keep using fc4 for my distro for the time being.

Considering all the changes. Jasper and Chitlesh have done a great job 
resurrecting the kadischi project. The idea that kadischi is trying to 
compete with knoppix is kind of odd. I think there is some expectation 
of that floating around...but no one on this list has made claims in 
that direction. Knoppix is a downloadable iso, kadischi lets you roll 
you own...big difference.

After watching ADIOS bomb endlessly in a myriad of ways, require 
downloads from other projects, require kernel patching and rebuilding, 
and never properly support FC3, and claim to support FC4 (but never 
did), well...sure they had squashfs, but nothing else worked reliably.

Kadischi started becoming reliable (for me) just in time for my distro, 
about 5-6 months ago. It was just in time and really solved a lot of 
problems for our shop.
