I guess it would be something like add the cmdline option + then start
some systemd unit ? Can you please put some instructions for this in
the testing section of:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/AnacondaWebUIforFedoraWorkstation
(with a note that this is currently not supported / recommended).

work with less RAM and I'm happy to share my experience in this, but I
do not have time to actually implement needed changes for this.
Hi Hans,
it would indeed involve adding the `inst.webui` and `inst.webui.remote`
kernel command line options and a systemd unit to start the relevant
services (I *think* that'd only be `cockpit.service`).
You likely also want to truncate the `/etc/cockpit/allowed-users` file
so you can use your empty password root login during installation.
This is normally taken care of when anaconda starts the webservice [1].
I've been working on landing live-installer generation in the image
builder projects (there's a separate change request for this). You can
follow progress on that here [2].
When the image builder PR lands the first follow ups will involve
customization of the live-installer. Including kernel options, packages,
and systemd service files. This would allow you to build a lighter
version of the live-installer locally to use on the devices you work with.
I am interested to know which tweaks you perform to have the livecd use
less RAM to see if I can codify those. Could you share your experience?
Regards, Simon
