Hi Tom,
Firstly, why didn't you email this to the SoaS list. Mel, Sebastian
and I are all on it and then others can benefit if they're attempting
this.

I am trying to copy the contents of spin-kickstarts to the live user desktop
in a customized XFCE live kickstart file in F13
Why does it need to be copied to the desktop?
Having a copy of the spin-kickstarts in a folder on the liveuser Desktop
eases access and solves permission problems for the targeted user base
ie:Teachers
I have added the following to the programs section:
livecd-tools
spin-kickstarts
zyx-liveinstaller
gparted
Not sure what you mean by added them to the programs section, please explain.
These are added to the kickstart so that they will be installed on the .iso
I have tried these lines in % post:
mkdir /home/liveuser//home/liveuser/Desktop/spin-kickstarts
cp -r /usr/share/spin-kickstarts/*.ks
/home/liveuser/Desktop/spin-kickstarts/
I presume your doing this in the kickstart. Firstly your directory
structure will be different during the build but above why do you have
2 /home/liveuser in the first line?
sorry typo. Please help me with the command I need to use to copy the
contents of
/usr/share/spin-kickstarts/
to
/home/liveuser/Desktop/spin-kickstarts
I get the spin-kickstarts Folder created on the desktop in XFCE but there
are no files in it.
Everything else works but I need the .ks files on the desktop....
I'm not sure why you want to copy the kickstart files to a folder on
the desktop, why not just document their location.
see above
Is there something else I need to include?
I'm not sure what your trying to achieve to know whether there's other
stuff you need to include.
Mel said you possibly could help me on this.
Thank you

Is there any way in the % post section to include a "ReadMeFirst.txt" file
from my f13 build system Desktop to be built into the .iso to appear on the
/home/liveuser/Desktop/
of the .iso?
Depending on how big the readme is and what you want to include in it
you can generate it using cat. At the bottom of the soas.ks in the
spins rpm there's 2 examples of this.

I will look at it. I am a nubie at this...
Basically I am trying to make a live CD.iso that Boots to a desktop
which has a folder "spin-kickstarts" on it and a text file "ReadMeFirst"
containing instructions and links on how to make a Remix. Also on the
Desktop will be an Icon for zyx-liveinstaller (and no icon for
Anaconda(liveinst)).
>This CD will be used to do a Hard Disk install with zyx-liveinstaller
(An exact copy) where it can be used to make Soas-Remix .iso's<
This will simplify, for the user, configuring their own install:
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Talk:Features/Soas_V4/Remixability#Build_Your_Own_Remix
I am doing a build with a modified .ks file for each change...I am
making a lot of Bad CD coasters as I try to find out how to achieve the
results I want. Any help or other examples of .ks lines would be
appreciated. : )

----clip----
To summarize your question - you're trying to figure out how to write
a kickstart file that downloads and places files that aren't packaged
(in this case, a .ks and a .txt file) in an arbitrary location (in
this case, the liveuser's desktop)?
I know we did this for the last POSSE Remix; both Sebastian and Peter
had the .ks file for that at some point, so the syntax for it should
be somewhere in there if the .ks file is floating about (I can't find
it right now).
Are these .ks examples available for study?
