Indeed...! I'm still playing around with this, but my first pass seems to have minted a nice, updated F10 Live CD. And it was impressively simple to do. Only limitations I'm seeing so far are that you can only create ISOs for the platform you are currently working on. Perhaps combining this with mock could overcome that. And since you can do this using most any reasonable kickstart file, it should also be just as easy to create updated, custom spins for your own purposes. Add an adaptation of the Live USB Creator GUI as a front-end to all of this (or add this as an extension to the Live USB Creator), and you come up with a "requested feature complete" tool capable of creating custom or updated spins suitable for CD, DVD, or USB use. Where do I go to submit the Bugzilla Feature Enhancement request...? :) Cheers, Chris -- ========================================= "In theory there is no difference between theory and practice.
