Introduction
This page explains how to make a custom-content Live CD or DVD on Fedora-based systems including derived distributions such as RHEL, CentOS and others.
If you simply want to burn a pre-made ISO to a disc, visit http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora to download a LiveCD or LiveDVD, then see the install guide or burning how-to for further instructions.
See the project wiki for more details. Discussion of this project takes places at http://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/livecd.

- You can also install
system-config-kickstart - A reference for kickstart files and their content is available in the Anaconda documentation here.
Build the image
You'll need the livecd-creator tool.
sudo yum install livecd-creator
Adjust the image
ZOMG it's too big! How to cut stuff. See #Release management for more notes. (make that section)
Distribute the image
Now you have an .iso. What do you do with it?
