Did I misunderstand what James asked? It sounded like he wanted to add
a whole bunch of additional packages to the standard LiveCD's in order
to allow building out-of-tree kernel modules. If this is the case then
the answer is NO because:
1) It is not a priority of Fedora to support proprietary kernel modules
(ndiswrapper). (Aside from that, can you even use ndiswrapper reliably
with Fedora's 4KB kernel stacks?)
2) Doing so would bloat the LiveCD's much larger than the limits that
would fit onto a CD.
If someone wants to do this for their own personal LiveCD they are free
to do whatever they want.

I can try and draft a kickstart (even if it's not up to me to include it
in livecd-tools proper). Looking at what you've got below, I can think
of two issues. First, the minimal image on F8 doesn't allow login so
I'll have to work around that. Second, the list below is not the
complete list of needed packages for a LiveCD so I'll have to work out
the packages to include. James, if I do come up with a kickstart, would
you be willing to test it. Also, does anyone have any other
thoughts/warnings before I start hacking?

Hi,
Please can you include a minimal development
envrionment on the LiveCD release, in F8 it's less
than 20mb, the files required are
binutils-2.17.50.0.18-1.i386.rpm
gcc-4.1.2-33.i386.rpm
glibc-devel-2.7-2.i386.rpm
glibc-headers-2.7-2.i386.rpm
kernel-devel-2.6.23.1-42.fc8.i686.rpm
kernel-headers-2.6.23.1-42.fc8.i386.rpm
libgomp-4.1.2-33.i386.rpm
make-3.81-10.fc8.i386.rpm
patch-2.5.4-30.fc8.i386.rpm
This enables installing ndiswrapper, madwifi drivers
etc without an internet connection
Cheers :)
