Using pungi on F7 I would like to create a CD that includes a
kickstart file to be used during installation of a system using this CD.
Is there a way to tell pungi to put a ks.cfg file into the root of the
CD and modify isolinux.cfg?
Thanks

Good question, and one that I solved by adding a special package and
directory to the release-notes stuff.
here are the lines from my pungi.conf file:
...
relnotedirre = images stylesheet-images ks
relnotepkgs = fjks fedora-release fedora-release-notes
...
I make a package which contains a directory: /ks
which contains all of my kickstart files.
One version of pungi required me to add these lines into /usr/bin/pungi. :(
The idea is that pungi will add the fjks package to the base cdimage.
and copy the /ks directory to the root of the CD/DVD.
That part works.
You can now add: ks=cdrom:/ks/myks.cfg
to the boot paramaters for an install.
The release notes ARE NOT copied into the root directory of the
initrd.img :(
So I have to process that separately for my thumb drive installs.
It goes like this:
partition the thumb drive with two partitions, the first being 13MB and
the second the remainder of the drive. Tag the first partition as bootable.
# mkfs -t vfat -n "images" /dev/sd?2
# mount /dev/sd?2 /mnt
# cp /srv/pungi/F7Developer/7/Custom/i386/iso/F-7-i386-DVD.iso /mnt
# umount /mnt
# dd if=/srv/pungi/F7Developer/7/Custom/i386/os/images/diskboot.img
of=/dev/sd?1
...
# Now lets put our kickstart files into the initrd.img
mount /dev/?1 /mnt
rm -fr /tmp/img
mkdir /tmp/img
cd /tmp/img
gunzip -dc /mnt/initrd.img | cpio -icvdmu
# Copy kickstart files
# adjust below as needed (not everyone uses .ks extension)
mkdir ks
cp ${KS}/*.ks ks
cp ${KS}/home* ks
find . |cpio --quiet -c -o |gzip -9 > ../initrd.img
cp ../initrd.img /mnt
cd
# rm -fr /tmp/img
umount /mnt
...
Hope that is somewhat readable.
The trick is the arguments to cpio.
It would be AWSOME if the process that builds the initrd.img would put
the release-notes there the same way, but they are never seen, so are
not needed.
