edit-livecd is for inserting packages or files; edit-liveos is proposed as a
new version to accommodate customization and branding.
Hm. I'm not sure I follow yet, but maybe I'm just not understanding.
What I want to work on with mkbackup.py is creating a LiveCD/LiveDVD
out of the running system, not a LiveCD system created with livecd-creator.
mkbackup.py will take the root filesystem of any given host and squash it up
and create a Live media out of it, essentially making an exact backup
of the machine's
drive, which has the ability to run as a Live operating system, but
also is installable with Anaconda's
liveinst method.
