I'd strongly recommend oz-install ... https://github.com/clalancette/oz
Okay, so, sell me on this. I know Oz is popular, especially in the OpenStack world, so we definitely want to make sure it works with Fedora. But what's the advantage over livemedia-creator, if we were to rework the koji appliance build for either one?
One advantage is that Oz supports a great many different operating systems (including even Windows). Another is that it uses the actual installer from the OS to do its business, whereas livecd-creator [not used the newer livemedia-* stuff] does some sort of RPM-in-a-chroot install.
oz-install doesn't need root (or shouldn't -- at one point it did, but there was no reason for that and I asked Chris to change this).
So .. they're different things. I'm still unclear what sort of appliances you're trying to build and what for, and that will affect what tool you decide to use.
