Yes, I did include the above (trying to build a LiveCD without a DE), and did the following later (not sure what some of these after the package inclusion/exclusion is doing): %include fedora-live-base.ks # remove gnome-packagekit -apper -gnome-packagekit %packages ### FVWM slim fvwm pcmanfm ### internet firefox icedtea-web pidgin sylpheed ### office abiword gnumeric osmo ### graphics epdfview mtpaint ### audio & video alsa-plugins-pulseaudio asunder gxine gxine-mozplugin pavucontrol pnmixer # pam-fprint causes a segfault in LXDM when enabled -fprintd-pam # needed for automatic unlocking of keyring (#643435) gnome-keyring-pam NetworkManager-gnome # needed for xdg-open to support LXDE -perl-File-MimeInfo xcompmgr xdg-user-dirs-gtk -xscreensaver slock # remove gnome-packagekit -apper -gnome-packagekit #remove packages # #Base: -PackageKit -fedora-release-notes -krb5-workstation #Base-X -glx-utils notification-daemon -xfce4-notifyd stalonetray cat >> /etc/rc.d/init.d/livesys << EOF # disable screensaver locking and make sure gamin gets started cat > /etc/xdg/autostart << FOE /usr/libexec/gam_server @stalonetray @nm-applet @pcmanfm -d /usr/libexec/notification-daemon FOE # set up preferred apps cat > /etc/xdg/libfm/pref-apps.conf << FOE [Preferred Applications] WebBrowser=mozilla-firefox.desktop MailClient=redhat-sylpheed.desktop FOE # set up auto-login for liveuser sed -i 's|# autologin=dgod|autologin=liveuser|g' /etc/slim.conf # Show harddisk install on the desktop sed -i -e 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/' /usr/share/applications/liveinst.d esktop mkdir /home/liveuser/Desktop cp /usr/share/applications/liveinst.desktop /home/liveuser/Desktop # this goes at the end after all other changes. chown -R liveuser:liveuser /home/liveuser restorecon -R /home/liveuser EOF %end Many thanks and best wishes, Ranjan -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
