LiveCD - I hope that it will evolve to LiveCD with option to install.
The same kickstart script can be used to install to a hard disk - it
will be available on my site as soon as I am comfortable with the
running system.

There is only one kernel installed. It is made the same way as a FC4
install except that everything is installed into a compressed file
system. I am removing lots of things to make it as small as possible. I
do not know yet how I will enable choice between C3 and C3_2 kernels.

As I am going to be building kernels anyway I just wanted to know if
building in up to date drm was worth the extra 20 minutes work.
