Hi tim: Thanks for your reply.I have build a livecd using livecd-fedora-8-base-desktop.ks file. There were more than 500 packages installed. If I adopt you approach to build the firefox livecd, it's too hard to minimize the iso file. I don't have idea to decide that which packages I need to remove or save and which services were not necessary. I just want to open a firefox browser when the system was booted. No login UI, no external service,no... just a clean desktop with a firefox browser. I thought it would be a little hard,but it seems very hard.
Who can give me some suggestion?Any help will be appreciative. best regards thanks On Mon, Jul 28, 2008 at 1:25 PM, Tim Wood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > Pollux, if you look through the kickstarts that are included, you'll find > a minimal kickstart.
