-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
For quite a while now any Fedora centric presentations I made used to the have usual query - "What's with the Fedora LiveCD". I guess it has not been blogged a lot but here's what's happening. In the summer of 2005, Red Hat sponsored several projects with Google's Summer of Code. One of these projects was named "Kadischi". Led by Darko Ilic, the Kadischi project was a set of scripts, based on Anaconda, that created a system image in a change root and then put that system into an ISO image. The Kadischi project has since acquired a number of users and a few developers, and has had some moderate success -- but its roadmap, and its leadership, have remained unclear. In the summer of 2006, David Zeuthen of Red Hat revealed a Live CD based on his work from a project called Pilgrim. David is a developer for the One Laptop Per Child project, and the main goal of Pilgrim -- create system images that can easily run from a flash drive -- maps very closely to the goals for a proper Live CD. David spent a weekend retrofitting Pilgrim to produce a Live CD as well. Thus, we have two codebases in Fedora that are designed to produce a Live CD.

It will be written in python (for many obvious reasons). Code style I hope will be of a simple "master" process that can call any number of subprocesses depending on a configuration set.
