As i got to know today from a redhat guy working on security this is no longer
the case - haven`t checked that yet, but perhaps Steve can say something
about it ?
Is there any other way to do that? I`ve seen live CDs that use
UnionFS, and
it`s very elegant solution, but unionfs is not in the kernel...
... which is the problem. I (would) avoid any changes to the kernel, or at
least provide an unchanged and a union-fs enabled one, supporting both
methods for runtime-writable space. (writable fs parts still would have to be
under one 'tmpfs - parent' directory ).
Union-fs in the default fc kernel would be wonderfull, but i don`t think this
will happen in near future ?

Yeah, I had that on my mind but wasn`t sure if it is a good idea..
Would be nice to be able to reference /usr/share/doc to a network source.
Another candidate to safe space is /usr/share/locale - i have it reduced to
~55Mb by removing all unsupported languages, but I don`t think this can be
done with an official livecd (which is expected to support eg. japanese and
russian).

Well, sure they have to be on the machine before the installation, but I
was wandering should remote repositories be supported, and I`ve decided in
the meantime that they should.
Agreed. :)
Is there any difference between bootable CD iso and bootable DVD iso
except
max size?
None that i know of.
