Greetings,
Following up to previous discussion around improving the Test Day experience, I began documenting the live image creation procedure. It's *very* lightweight now, but I'm looking for suggestions for improving the posted kickstart file.
Some interesting ideas were included updated firefox bookmarks or desktop icons to point to the current test day (Test_Day:Current). The kickstart also adds gdb and [sl]trace into the package set. Are there other useful debugging applications needed?
The current draft is available at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Test_Days/Live_Image. Any input is appreciated.
Thanks, James

You might wish to include USB stick instructions, in addition to CD, for participants that might not have or might not wish to expend disposable media.

+1 I have only contributed meaningfully to one Test Day, but normal geek life already puts too many cd/dvd media on my desk. They do not, by any stretch, make good coasters.
Also, and I'm not sure how to explain this, can the "template" instructions be more. um. flexible? Maybe "generic" is a better term. My only recent Test Day was with "radeon", so I think maybe there is a repo --name <username> --baseurl http://<username>.fedorapeople.org/<sometest> aspect to this...?

We get a lot of complaints about the F10 syslinux issue so by that measure a lot of people already know how to do the USB thang and are doing it for Test Days, but good point :) I'll try and remember to add this for the next Test Day with a live image.

I'm really not all sure what you mean here, could you try explaining from a different angle?

This was intended more to document the steps used to create the test day live images. However, I've added a few links to to the page to point folks in the right direction when it comes to using the images.
Thanks, James
