Hi team,
One of the suggestions that we received at the Fedora booth this past weekend at Chemnitzer Linux Tage was to add liveusb-creator to the default pacakge set for both the Desktop Live CD and the DVD.
Since the package manifest for the Desktop Live CD is the responsibility of this team, I wanted to forward the suggestion on.
The package is quite small, and I don't *think* it pulls in any dependencies that aren't already part of the spin.
Thanks, Max

^^ to be honest or re-ask the question as a "model" himself: - Create a Live-medium out of a live medium? -- Does this makes really sense? -- where to store the ISO for creating a Live medium? --- on the HDD of the not touched system? remeber, it's a live booted system --- on the CD? How??? --- on the DvD? How???
:-)

Given that the Live images are also installable, this would be useful not just when running live, but also post-installation.
-- Does this makes really sense?
Yes.
-- where to store the ISO for creating a Live medium?
In memory or on the persistent overlay, or wherever once installed.

Not always.
--- on the CD? How??? --- on the DvD? How???
A perhaps useful mode would be to have live-*-creator be able to use the running live image as the source for installing to USB.

livecd-iso-to-disk actually can already do this I think, although it's a little horky and not necessarily obvious how to do so

liveusb-creator uses PyQt for its UI and thus ends up pulling in the QT stack. Which isn't on the livecd at present and isn't small.

It's on the kde spin, since we can afford to do it.
Wasn't someone working on a pygtk interface? (or maybe senility sinking in, and I'm imagining things)...
