Description Perry Myers 2011-03-16 16:56:02 UTC 
Description of problem:
edit-livecd presently just takes a shell script which is free-form.  Add support for a -k --kickstart option that will take a kickstart file and from it utilize the %packages and %post sections, including %post sections that utilize the image minimizer interface for blacklisting
