THIS THREAD IS SOLVED.
THANKYOU

I'd like to create a respin/remix Live CD version of Fedora for personal use.

All I want to with my Fedora Live CD is:
- Remove certain applications to create space
- Install OO.o Writer, Impress & Calc

What is the EASIEST way possible to do this?
I'm not a developer nor a coder so I'm not pro at fiddling with command lines (but I could give it a try if you tell me how.)

Thankyou

Hi,

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_a_Live_CD

As root user or using sudo,

# yum install spin-kickstarts

# cd /usr/share/spin-kickstarts



Edit the file fedora-livecd-desktop.ks

Remove the packages you don't want either by delisting them or add a - in front of them

@office group installs Openoffice.org stuff

If you want to remove Fedora branding

--

# rebranding

-fedora-logos
-fedora-release
-fedora-release-notes
generic-release
generic-logos
generic-release-notes

---

Then run this on the command line

# setenforce 0

# sudo livecd-creator --config=fedora-livecd-desktop.ks --cache=cache/ --fslabel=my-remix

--

Hope this helps

This is useful info. :)
Would it be the same procedure if you want to create a DVD install?

Hi,

Live DVD's. yes. For regular DVD's, you need to use the tool called Pungi or Revisor

Thanks a lot.
You really simplified the complicatedness of the process.
