Installation vs Live Media
In this chapter of [[Fedora Linux Essentials]] we will look at creating Fedora Re-spins using ''Revisor''.
== Installation Media vs Live Media ==
Revisor provides the option to build ''installation media'' (either CDs or DVDs from which the custom distribution will be installed onto the hard disk drive a target computer system) or ''Live Media'' (a copy of the distribution that is booted and run from a CD or DVD without the need to install to a hard disk drive). In the case of the Live Media configuration, extra steps are provided to preconfigure networking, authentication, firewall settings and a user. Whilst these settings are mostly optional, configuring them into the live media distribution at creation time avoids the necessity to manually configure them each time the live distribution is booted.
