But at the same time, I am considering adding some form of hook to run a script off of /home during the boot so that you could implement making any changes you wanted. Just not sure if it's overkill.
Why not put the hook in the fedora-live init script?
That's actually where all of this magic lives (well init script + livecd-iso-to-disk). Like I said, just not entirely sure if it's overkill to try to support or not
I'm in favor of a solution that would include /home and other system folders. Since I have no real understanding of the inner workings of livecd-iso-to-disk, I don't know how hard that would be. I find it usefull to keep some changes in /etc files but there are other files too. Would this have to include a "blacklist" for stuff like /tmp, /var/cache ?
The problem is there's no good way to define what is a "system file". Not to mention that if you update a package, you may want to get its new config files. Perhaps at some point, we'll be able to use something other than dm-snapshot for our persistence, at which point, we'll have some more options. But for now, it's what we've got
