> the software in question isn’t licenced

s/licenced/licensed/

In British English, licence is a noun and license is a verb.

If you want to use the “Fedora Remix” term you just have to follow the very few guidelines for it. Fedora Remixes are pretty wide open for changes; to use the “Fedora” name and the Fedora logo is a higher bar and must be approved by the Fedora Board. Please read the trademark guidelines page on the wiki for more information:

What is the benefit of using revisor? I tried using revisor year ago and it wasn’t useful for me, it seamed broken at the time and I haven’t used it since then.

Why not make a Revisor config file and a ks file so you can use revisor to generate a dvd iso

First thank you Paul for your great suggestion!

I believe I has some issues with “mirrorlist” version, I’ll check that out and try again.
I love the idea of calling it “Osijek Fedora Remix” if it is ok to keep Fedora in the name.

Regarding the install_root – in the base.ks file I have changed so that the “/” is 4572 MB (part / –size 4572) and that works for me, I have build iso images without problems so far.

Finally, the livecd-creator command you list failed for me for lack of space on the install_root — is the rootfs big enough for the package complement you’ve designed?

Also you should be labeling your distribution something other than “F10-Extra-Edition.” You should take effort to avoid the appearance that what you’re giving users is under the Fedora trademark. Why not call it “Osijek Fedora Remix” or even “Omega Extra Edition” if the Omega maintainer is OK with that.

Your linux-osijek-10-base.ks has an error — you are using a “baseurl” repo method for the main Fedora repo instead of the “mirrorlist” version, which means that anyone in the world using your files will end up hitting one server in the .nl region. Instead, you want them to be using the mirroring systems that makes access faster and more reliable no matter where they are.
