Features for Revisor

Here we list features of Revisor we implemented in Revisor already, or want to implement in the future.

Obviously, there's a number of basic requirements to Revisor in order for it to be a useful tool:

• Installation Media
  Revisor should create installation media:
• CD Images
• DVD Images
• PXE Payloads including boot.iso for PXE Clients
  
• Unattended installation media (boot from CD, go for a walk, come back, reboot and enjoy)
  
• Live Media
  Revisor should create live media:
• CD Images
• DVD Images
• USB Thumbdrive Images

Installation Media Features

• Customize the packages available during install time
• Advanced: Allow package version selection
  
• Include kickstart configuration on the media and have it boot by default
• Allow for CD/DVD/PXE Payload
• Allow configuration of the package manifest using kickstart file
  

Live Media Features

• Limit the size of the image (because you can't boot DVDs so you don't want all this work to be done and then end up with a 701 MB ISO)
• Allow configuration of the live media using a kickstart configuration file
• Allow a live media desktop user to be created
• Allow the desktop user to be logged in to the desktop automatically
• Allow the desktop user to be added to the wheel group
• Allow the wheel group to use sudo without a password
• Allow the desktop user's profile to be created, modified or copied
