I've thought about it before, the problem ends up being that you really don't want to use, eg, a fat filesystem for the home directory which makes it a little trickier. It's definitely my fallback thinking at this point, although I do actually think we can get something along the line of dmc's patches merged... I just need to see what's up with the upstart conversion (as it also involved changes to how we halt and I didn't want to have to figure that side out twice :-) Jeremy -- Fedora-livecd-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-livecd-list
