OK - I can buy that.

After beating on Revisor most of the afternoon today, I managed to get it to actually create a 64-bit DVD Install ISO! I'm going to try it out on a virtual machine in a minute to see how it does. Next up will be 64-bit live media. In the meantime, I'm trying to find updated documentation. The Revisor Wiki pages only show stuff through version 2.0.5 while F10 has 2.1 and I've already read through all of that...
