'good docu' for the livecd build-process ... that`s a very critical point yet :) I`m trying to create a set of scripts to facilitate the process, but it`s still not very easy to get it right and 'end-user' doable. It starts with package dependencies (it`s quite easy to end up with a 2,8 GB install) and ends with mostly small things (some software that needs write permission in /usr, missing symlinks, changes in system scripts etc.), that can easely prevent a livecd -system from working. I`ve automated most of the stuff using a shellscript that guides throught the build-process in ~11 steps, and eleminated a lot of pitfalls by putting the livecd-specific adjustments into rpm packages (the 'livecd- rpms' - included in the 1.40 cd in /rpms folder). All tools i use are currently included in a 'livecd-devel.tar.gz' in the barebone image - they are working - at least for me - but there are still a lot of loose ends, and it is not 'bullet-proof' enough to turn it loose as single package. My current approach for end-users is to provide a 'basic' image (the 'barebone') as working example that includes just yum and a few other tools that can be 'remastered' into full working system or used as a 'base' for own systems.
