I haven't looked yet at how Anaconda does live CD installs, but can't we modify it to install our versions of these packages during the installation?
if its installing rpms - then yes that would ( read: should ) not be a major issue.
I am quite sure it is not installing rpms. The installation process is copying the Live CD content to the selected hard drive. Maybe we could add a post-installation script following these steps:
1. chroot to the new installation 2. force rpm installation of CentOS packages over Live CD packages 3. exit
And I am not sure if we can even do this sort of a thing as a CentOSPlus livecd, unless someone wants to take on the job of maintaining these packages in the plus repo, and doing enough to make sure it continues to work with the base distro.
Quite painful to do so for seven years :(.
Maintaining the packages should not really be an issue, the problem is going to be making sure that everything else in the distro also plays well with what we have in there and making sure we are not creating more issues for users.
