I just wrote a basic select a scsi or ata device bash script in
zenity. I added /dev/live. Nothing fancy but it should save you a
few minutes.

I could throw together a ghetto zenity gui pretty quickly. The
only user interaction is
a) selecting iso
- for the gui, this could be handled by zenity file-selection, or
the default would be to use /dev/live if it exists (i.e. /dev/live
is the accessible block device representing the currently booted
livecd).
b) bypassing checkisomd5 if it fails
- this is easily enough a zenity question, or perhaps just make
it a pure failure case for the gui
c) livecd-iso-to-disk result text output, either success, or
failure for some reason. Easy enough to dump to a zenity dialog.
I'm curious, what kind of deadlines should I be thinking about for
this and other livecd related things.
I.e. the f8 devel freeze is Oct 4th, as of f8t3 release. But then
there is an f8t3 devel freeze as of Sept 25th (along with
translation freeze).
What sort of development is considered acceptable between those two
dates?
Obviously I would like to get anything in by say... tonight, so
that Jeremy has time to decide to accept it and commit it before
tuesday, and then not try to get anything in after that.
And would this theoretical gui livecd-iso-to-disk separate package
fall outside the scope of even the oct-4th devel freeze, because it
is a 'new' package?
