I think that would be great, it would certainly allow for the ability
to test that stuff. I'm admittedly very unfamiliar with it though, is
any of that currently being composed by lorax in the trees? Example[0]

If it is not then I would absolutely be open to adding it if you
wouldn't mind sending a pull request[1] with either a new script or
addition to the build-iso.sh script that's there, I would be happy to
put it in the same build process and have it in the same location. I
know the pxe-to-live stuff is aimed for Fedora 23 but if we can enable
it in these nightlies in the mean time then all the better.

Thanks!
