Clean Up the Pidora Kickstart File
As of Dec. 15 / 2013, this page has been updated for the project description, its details, and project news.
Project Description
The kickstart file is used to create a Pidora image file. It contains the pre/post-setup configuration and a list of packages. The main goal of this project is to take out unnecessary packages from the kickstart file, which contributes the small storage maximization. The "potential" second goal is to modify pre/post-setup configuration portions in the kickstart file in order to boost up the boot speed, which another person(Peyman)and I might work on together.
