Description of problem: The f7/8t1 livecd's iso9660 filesystem is bare. I.e. only the minimal files required for the bootloader and the livecd (is the /sysroot empty dir really necessary?) Whereas the ubuntu livecd iso has all kinds of goodies. Such as icon and autorun for windows cd-insertion scenario. I.e. automatically spawning a webbrowser to view the locally included (on the iso9660 root fs) html file. They even throw in windows installers for firefox, etc... They also throw in windows tools to help create obscure boot disks (i.e. that sbm stuff) To regain parity with ubuntu, and even surpass, the fedora livecd needs this kind of stuff. Personally I'd really like to see an installed windows qemu version, such that when you plop the f8 livecd in a windows system, you can run a win32 version of qemu straight from the cd (no install reqd), and then boot the livecd itself. But that is probably not worth it, as from what I hear the win32 version of qemu is not that robust. Mainly this bug is about something simpler like an autorun launching a 'why the f8 livecd is great, and how to use it, and not fear it' kind of web page.

Yeah, we had talked about this at some point during F7, but it kind of fell off the radar just due to time. There are two different parts. The first is the infrastructure to drop such bits onto the CD. You had a start of something for that, I had a few other ideas. I'll either resurrect that thread tonight or tomorrow or you can. The second part is working with some combination of Fedora Marketing, Fedora Art and Fedora Docs to actually get the content we're going to put there. Sticking on the blocker list so we don't forget about it this time.
