Jeroen, Double plus good. The basic division of labor looks right to
me ... for what that's worth ;-)
Anything that people might want to overide that can't be overidden
should be moved to the 'top' level kickstart. I can't remember what
things fall into that category, but candidates that come to mind include
repositories, timezone and (possibly) networking. I believe these would
generally go into the localization kickstart.
Similarly, there are certain packages that are currently included in the
low level kickstarts that (1) arn't actually necessary and (2) some
people don't want. SE Linux comes to mind. I suspect those items would
generally be grouped under the live-desktop.ks.

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,
Jeroen van Meeuwen
