Jeremy Katz is working on it now. I have updated the how to page to 
point out the new location. Also note that the latest version is written 
in python and uses kickstart configuration files instead of the older 
bash scripts. Jeremy, are you planning to put the tools in to the Fedora 
repository?

I suspected we had a lot more tools to package. Might consider starting 
a security SIG and posting to fedora-devel list with a list of packages 
and stuff. See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/SIGs. What would be 
more interesting is to look at what kind of configuration tweaks the 
other Live CD's do.
