I was intrigued, so did some investigation. It is gone, no longer
needed.

I also found this script that you might find useful, at least as a
reference.

It has baremetal-tools in it, but you could just comment or remove that
line.
Thanks, yes, that is what I did (uncommented the memtest and commented that line.) But is
this not a bug in the fedora-kickstarts package, since that line is part of a system-wide
file at: /usr/share/spin-kickstarts/fedora-live-base.ks
Btw, there is a bug in livecd-tools: see
https://github.com/livecd-tools/livecd-tools/issues/258 and I do not know how to get
around it. (There was a response to my bug report, but I do not understand it.)
So, my rolling of my own remix has come to a stop.
Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan
