These are similar but not the same. mkbackup.py would create a LiveCD/LiveDVD out of a running system. I don't know what edit-liveos does or edit-livecd but to my knowledge they are only for inserting packages into an already built LiveCD ISO. The mkbackup.py script does not do that, it simply would create a LiveCD/DVD out of the current installed system as a means for a Live bootable backup image, which with Anaconda, can be reinstalled to a machine in case of disk failure or other problems. -- livecd mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/livecd
