No other idea.

Only the free repo should be used IMHO. But we could have the non-free one 
enabled I guess.

It should atleast have the gstreamer-* packages from rpmfusion added, as 
gstreamer-plugins-bad drags in quite some deps, I guess that will need to be 
split up a bit.

As well as all the *-freeworld packages for things which are standard in the 
livecd, basicly I would like to see it enable playback of all multimedia 
formats which we can support using packages from rpmfusion-free.
