Its not available because ive not yet worked out the magic to be able
to create a chroot with the target bits i.e. f18 and run
livemedia-creator in the chroot and have it spin up a vm and do the
install etc and work as it needs to. Its a case of where the tool was
written without thought for the requirements on how it would be run.
we have dedicated physical hardware for building the images on. thats
not at all the issue. either im not clear in how i explain things or
people are only half listening.

Boxgrinder is not a viable option at all.
