Hello there,

The Spin SIG is interested in "templating" kickstarts or finding other means in which it can easily test and approve localized spins, and other community spins, from a technical point of view.

The idea I had is to build a certain spin concept with two basic kickstart files, and a "localization kickstart"; a higher-level kickstart including the lower-level kickstart. Here's an overview of the idea:

fedora-live-base.ks
  Includes everything needed to make a live spin work.

fedora-live-desktop.ks
  Includes everything needed to make the 'desktop' spin concept work,
  but no localization. Includes fedora-live-base.ks.

fedora-live-desktop-<lang>.ks
  Includes localization bits (lang, keyboard, timezone,
  @<lang>-support). Includes fedora-live-desktop.ks.

Maybe create fedora-live-desktop-default.ks to provide the default compose the way it is now (localization is en_US, includes @*-support).

More information (and more up-to-date information) is at

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Spins/KickstartPool

A sample set of kickstarts is at:

http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=spin-kickstarts.git;a=tree

Although possibly a futile point at this moment; A stock Fedora 8 compose from the kickstarts currently in livecd-tools' GIT repo (including updates!), and one that only includes @dutch-support (new model, also including updates).

[EMAIL PROTECTED] spin-kickstarts]$ du -sh *.iso
775M    livecd-fedora-8-desktop-200804131637.iso
703M    livecd-fedora-live-desktop-nl_NL-200804131550.iso

I'd appreciate feedback from you ;-)

Kind regards,
