    Actually that goes back to Fedora 8 IIRC. It wasn't enabled by default until 12.

    Now I begin my bi annual ritual of backing up my data, and making a new live CD

    Why create a CD? It's better to use LiveUSB Creator to put the LiveCD bootable image onto a USB flash drive. There's even a nice GUI, works on Linux (of course) or Windows. Here's the How-to..

    And 1GB flash drives are cheap and plentiful these days ... if you can even buy a flash drive that small anymore.
