[walters@neutron livecd]$ git status # On branch master # Changes to be committed: # (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage) # # renamed: config/livecd-fedora-desktop.ks -> config/livecd-fedora-personal.ks # For now, in here: http://submind.verbum.org/~walters/livecd.git/ I haven't looked whether the package set is sane for fedora-personal.ks. I did verify it boots. Basically I just did some infrastructure work so that I could create an online-desktop livecd without creating yet another fork of a big kickstart file. It's a start! An immediate interesting task for the fedora-personal.ks would be seeing how hard it would be to fit say OpenOffice, now that we know we can drop things like sendmail, etc. -- Fedora-desktop-list mailing list Fedora-desktop-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-desktop-list
