The next step would be to setup a local Fedora repository so the packages don't need to be downloaded for every build.

An identified need for this is deployments wanting to create a Soas which is an exact copy of their OLPC build. This could be used to train teachers prior to receiving OLPC laptops and gives an easy way to connect to a data projector | An identified need for this is deployments wanting to create a Soas which is an exact copy of their OLPC build.

The next step would be to setup a local Fedora repository so the packages don't need to be downloaded for every build. Then after that a system could be designed to take the custom kickstart files and build custom ISOs.
How about the kickstart program ( used with revisor) on the fedora repo now? Could it be utilized...
