Cool. Maybe we can get some more discussion going here... after all this mailing list
was made for remixers.
I'd like to see a tutorial on how to properly rebrand a remix... beyond just
replacing the fedora-logos and fedora-release packages with the generic versions. I'd
love to help with the tutorial but so far much of the process is a mystery to me.
Rahul volunteered to teach us how to build rpms and after I write a lengthy post asking
how to go about replacing the generic packages, he basically ignored me. My guess is that
my post was seen as mostly rambling and my questions weren't necessarily direct
enough. I also guess that a lot of the information is already available in the Fedora
wiki in bits and pieces but I've been a bit lazy looking for it and my post was mostly
"dear lazy web" in nature. :)
So, how does everyone go about rebranding their remixes?
Fusion Linux currently replaces generic-logos with it's own version of
generic-logos package with rebranded graphics, quick and dirty way.
You also need your own repo for this and that your package is higher
version that one in fedora repos, or disable generic-logos package
from fedora repo via exlude command in fedora.repos file.
Anybody interested how Fusion Linux does it you can check out our
kickstart files here:

Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Valent.
