I have some preliminary results in my OSJourno project (https://bitbucket.org/znmeb/osjourno/src/fc32383d24137484d8b3fa2b7bff3afe436d8bd5/4Experimental/LiveMediaCreator/) 1. I couldn't find all the missing pieces for Image Factory (there's a template file needed) so I did the build using livemedia-creator. It took a couple of edits to get a working kickstart but that's in osjourno-docker-base.ks. 2. If you remove kpartx, grub2, dracut and firewalld, systemd is missing from the image, which errors the livemedia-creator install and probably yields a non-functional Fedora anyhow. So I added systemd to the kickstart. 3. The resulting image builds znmeb/osjourno-rd correctly and the few run-time tests I did worked. 4. Sizes: original Fedora base: 250.2 MB, reduced image: 179.9 MB. That's a saving of 78.3 MB and makes the Fedora image smaller than the Ubuntu one. On Tue, Jan 13, 2015 at 1:32 PM, M.
