[Fedora-livecd-list] some lessons learned

[Tim Wood]

I guess I should've been clearer in the other email.  When I'm doing  
stuff like this I'll document what I'm doing and why (either in an  
email or wiki).  A lot of times I'm putting in what I think I'm going  
to see and then I fix my notes based on what really happens.  Works  
pretty well in general, but definitely not the approach to take if  
you're going to accidently hit send before you're ready.
