Basically I am trying to make a live CD.iso that Boots to a desktop which has a folder "spin-kickstarts" on it and a text file "ReadMeFirst" containing instructions and links on how to make a Remix. Also on the Desktop will be an Icon for zyx-liveinstaller (and no icon for Anaconda(liveinst)). >This CD will be used to do a Hard Disk install with zyx-liveinstaller (An exact copy) where it can be used to make Soas-Remix .iso's< This will simplify, for the user, configuring their own install:  <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Talk:Features/Soas_V4/Remixability#Build_Your_Own_Remix">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Talk:Features/Soas_V4/Remixability#Build_Your_Own_Remix</a> I am doing a build with a modified .ks file for each change...I am making a lot of Bad CD coasters as I try to find out how to achieve the results I want. Any help or other examples of .ks lines would be appreciated. : ) Mel said : ----clip---- <blockquote type="cite">To summarize your question - you're trying to figure out how to write a kickstart file that downloads and places files that aren't packaged (in this case, a .ks and a .txt file) in an arbitrary location (in this case, the liveuser's desktop)? I know we did this for the last POSSE Remix; both Sebastian and Peter had the .ks file for that at some point, so the syntax for it should be somewhere in there if the .ks file is floating about (I can't find it right now).</blockquote> Are these .ks examples available for study?
