I realized I never responded to this... I mis-read your original post
and thought you were hoping for help with a kickstart that would help
you create a LiveCD that would be generate minimal development cd. Of
course, as everyone has pointed out, I did mis-read your email.

I'll test it, sure, but why do you claim this is not
a complete list of needed packages? I have routinely
installed this set of packages since F6 (tediously
from a usb stick transfer), there's a howto on
fedoradforums.org posted by me for F7. Heck, I would
be happy if you just bzipped the 9 files and chucked
them on the LiveCD as an optional package.
I'm surprised no one else sees this as *critical*,
with the ASUS Eee PC for example, you need to jump
through hoops to get the LiveCD running with wifi from
a usb stick. Including these packages would make it
very easy.
Am I misunderstanding the problems involved in
including these rpms?
Cheers
