See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=448030 , in
particular, the
edit-livecd and edit-liveos attachments. This posting has some more
background, http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/livecd/2010-August/0....
It's good to see someone else working on this goal.
Well. These are similar but not the same.
mkbackup.py would create a LiveCD/LiveDVD out of a running system.
I don't know what edit-liveos does or edit-livecd but to my knowledge
they are only for inserting packages into an already built LiveCD ISO.
The mkbackup.py script does not do that, it simply would create a
LiveCD/DVD out of the current installed system as a means for a Live
bootable backup image, which with Anaconda, can be reinstalled to a
machine in case of disk failure or other problems.
