Revisor utility creates custom install images for Fedora (Linux.com)

[Posted June 8, 2007 by jake]

Linux.com reviews Revisor. "With Revisor running as the front end in Fedora 7, and the image building tools running in the background, it is now easy to build an install image exactly the way you want it. Using Revisor, you can choose exactly what software to include -- for example, you could build an image that installed only Xfce, and omitted GNOME and KDE. You could build a minimal install for an old machine, or for one with multiple distros and versions on which you wanted to save space. For security purposes, you could build an install in which you handpick each package. Or you could specify a custom repository or build custom images that fit on different-sized USB drives. An image built with Revisor may also be a less cumbersome way to do duplicate installs than using Kickstart. The possibilities are wide open."
