mirror of the packages, or you can use a caching proxy. When using a proxy
you pass it to livemedia-creator like so:
--kernel-args="proxy=http://proxy.yourdomain.com:3128"
--proxy=http://proxy.yourdomain.com:3128
You also need to use a specific mirror instead of mirrormanager so that the
packages will get cached:
packages will get cached, so your kickstart url would look like:

url --url="http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/17/x86_64/os/"
You can also add an update repo, but don't name it updates. Add --proxy to

AMI IMAGES

THE FUTURE
----------
The current release only supports creating live iso's. In the future
I want it to be able to create ami images as well as appliance images.
The current release supports creating live iso's and ami images. In the future
I also want it to be able to create appliance images.
It is also limited to x86 architectures because of it's use of virt-install.
I hope to be able to support other arches by using Anaconda's image install
