Well, the file does still exist on a Fedora system, but it consists
entirely of comments. It's no longer in active use. But the file of
comments gets installed by initscripts.
But kickstart.py is still trying to open inittab, and it can't, because
initscripts failed to install. If it does open it, it'll just open a
file of comments, but livecd-creator is giving up because it can't open
inittab.
This line is causing the trouble. How this is happening, I've no idea.
I'll investigate.
error: %pre(initscripts-9.37.1-1.fc17.x86_64) scriptlet failed,
exit status 10

The inittab file no longer exists, having been replaced, along with
most
initscripts, by systemd (systemctl command). Any problems you are having are not
due to missing inittab or initscripts.
