I'll test it, sure, but why do you claim this is not a complete list of needed packages? I have routinely installed this set of packages since F6 (tediously from a usb stick transfer), there's a howto on fedoradforums.org posted by me for F7. Heck, I would be happy if you just bzipped the 9 files and chucked them on the LiveCD as an optional package.
I'm surprised no one else sees this as *critical*, with the ASUS Eee PC for example, you need to jump through hoops to get the LiveCD running with wifi from a usb stick. Including these packages would make it very easy. Am I misunderstanding the problems involved in including these rpms?
