What you are describing is usually accomplished with Kickstart: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Kickstart The challenge is distilling all your tweaks into scripting commands for the %post section ;o) To be honest though, it sounds very much like what you want could be accomplished by Kickstart for your package selection and then simply copying over a templated home directory created after you had made the changes you want to an existing copy. Everything you describe is configured in .config/, .gnome2/ or .gconf/ and simply backing those up and untarring in your new installation might do what you require. -- Sam -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
