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

I can try and draft a kickstart (even if it's not up
to me to include it
in livecd-tools proper). Looking at what you've got
below, I can think
of two issues. First, the minimal image on F8
doesn't allow login so
I'll have to work around that. Second, the list
below is not the
complete list of needed packages for a LiveCD so
I'll have to work out
the packages to include. James, if I do come up
with a kickstart, would
you be willing to test it. Also, does anyone have
any other
thoughts/warnings before I start hacking?

Hi,
Please can you include a minimal development
envrionment on the LiveCD release, in F8 it's less
than 20mb, the files required are
binutils-2.17.50.0.18-1.i386.rpm
gcc-4.1.2-33.i386.rpm
glibc-devel-2.7-2.i386.rpm
glibc-headers-2.7-2.i386.rpm
kernel-devel-2.6.23.1-42.fc8.i686.rpm
kernel-headers-2.6.23.1-42.fc8.i386.rpm
libgomp-4.1.2-33.i386.rpm
make-3.81-10.fc8.i386.rpm
patch-2.5.4-30.fc8.i386.rpm
This enables installing ndiswrapper, madwifi
drivers
etc without an internet connection
Cheers :)
