Yep. I see a lot of commonality. In my view, I would love to get more
into modifying "livecd-tools" so it's a very flexible system for doing a
lot of things, including pseudo-embedded. I mean, even Montavista bases
much of their release on RHEL, and Timesys' "reference distro" builds
are Fedora.
I was told today that patches to make livecd-tools work are applied
against the livecd-tools in EPEL. We should proceed by applying
backports of patches that we need from Fedora livecd-tools against the
EPEL5 version. The EPEL5 version is essentially a fork that we have to
maintain separately.
I will not have an opportunity to work on this until early November at
the earliest. Want to take a crack at it? Please look at the patches
from me that were included in upstream livecd git. Then make sure the
equivalent works with the EPEL5 version. It shouldn't take a lot of
work. I literally did most of it already.
