I'm aiming to create a livecd generation tool, with heavy usage of kickstart, and without requiring root priveleges, so the above will help me mogrify sysconfig-kickstart into a gui for my tool, while maintaining the safety of not becoming root. If nobody gets around to it first, I'll try to also submit a patch for sysconfig-kickstart, since it would be another tool which would be nice to run as a user, without risking system corruption by running it as root. -jdog __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
