RE: [Fedora-livecd-list] liveinst , where does it get it's kickstart file from?
You can actually feed liveinst a kickstart by adding a $1 to the end of
the line in liveinst where it invokes anaconda... then you can do
liveinst --kickstart=somefile.cfg and it passes the --kickstart= part to
anaconda..
If have not tried to feed it packages this way, but partitioning,
network, password, %post, etc work fine...
Thanks,

When I use liveinst, I get grub options that are different than what
was on the original liveCD. For example, the original LiveCD had
selinux off and no X, the installed version had both.
I am using the stock anaconda and livecd tools, so perhaps I am
missing some of the patches that would correct this?

There is no kickstart. It copies the installed (ext3 file)system
right
from the livecd onto the disk.
Alternately you can launch anaconda yourself with a kickstart,
assuming
it defines the appropriately visable network repos.
I've had thoughts about kickstart applied the filesystem copy method.
It might be doable with code similar to what livecd-creator uses for
it's "base-on-iso" codepath. The only benefit there, is that it
wouldn't hit the network for packages already installed on the iso.
