Create a LiveCD with a static-IP config as default in NetworkManager?

I wonder if it's possible to modify a Fedora LiveCD to include a static-IP config in the default ethernet NIC instead of the default (which is to use DHCP), DNS etc?. Is there a single file that network manager uses for its default config?. If yes, that'd allow me to change a single file instead

[OT] ffmpeg buffer underflow

I know this is slightly off topic, but it's driving me nuts and I want to see what the Fedora community says before I have to hit up the ffmpeg list.  I've been using ffmpeg for years converting digital video into DVD format.  The basic command line hasn't changed for me: ffmpeg -i [inputfile.a
