Benefit to Sugar
What is the benefit to the platform? If this is a major capability update, what has changed? If this is a new feature, what capabilities does it bring? Why will Sugar become a better platform or project because of this feature?
Make sure to note here as well if this feature has been requested by a specific deployment, or if it has emerged from a bug report.
Scope
It works now. Instructions are written and method is tested
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Talk:Features/Soas_V4/Install_Test_Table#Test_results
All a User has to do to implement this is to install livecd-tools and spin-kickstarts in their version of fedora:
su -c 'yum install livecd-tools spin-kickstarts'
- And follow instructions.
UI Design
Does the feature have a direct impact on the work flow, or does it need a UI? Link here mockups, or add detailed descriptions.
How To Test
Sugar_Creation_Kit#Build_Your_Own_Remix_-.28not_included_on_SCK.DVD.29
Follow these instructions and burn resulting .iso to CD ant test it by Booting it.
User Experience
If this feature is noticeable by its target audience, how will their experiences change as a result? Describe what they will see or notice.
Dependencies
None that I know of.
Contingency Plan
If you cannot complete your feature by the final development freeze, what is the backup plan? This might be as simple as "None necessary, revert to previous release behaviour." Or it might not. If your feature is not completed in time, we want to assure others that other parts of Sugar will not be in jeopardy.

Release Notes
The Sugar Release Notes inform end-users about what is new in the release. An Example is 0.84/Notes. The release notes also help users know how to deal with platform changes such as ABIs/APIs, configuration or data file formats, or upgrade concerns. If there are any such changes involved in this feature, indicate them here. You can also link to upstream documentation if it satisfies this need. This information forms the basis of the release notes edited by the release team and shipped with the release.
