Well mkbackup.py would be designed so that people who install Fedora, for whatever reason wish to have a viable backup solution, and like the idea of it being a Live media, can use it to create a backup of thier running system. This is an installable image also since Anaconda has it's liveinst method which does a copy straight from the backup-Live media to a disk's HDD. I am not sure why you would create a backup of a LiveCD you created with livecd-creator, because you can simply re-use the kickstart file you had used already. -- livecd mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/livecd
