squashfs -- anyone have a pristine tree?
by Toshio Kuratomi 14 Apr '06

14 Apr '06

Hi all, Over the past week or so, I've become familiar with the Kadischi portion of Kadischi (as opposed to anaconda) and put together squashfs support. Unfortunately, I've been depending on cvs diff to generate a patch and the cvs server is down right now. Does anyone have a pristine tree I can diff against? If not, I'll tar up my tree later tonight and stick them somewhere for others to look at. The drawback of that is I had to make a few unrelated changes because I'm creating a minimal install and certain pieces of kadischi make assumptions of what software is installed in the image. -Toshio

Kadischi - Anaconda
by J. Hartline 11 Apr '06

11 Apr '06

Hi. A few seem to be interested in getting Kadischi-like stuff fused with Anaconda. What we are looking from my point of view is this: Just enabling a checkbox for building a LiveCD, which would require an existing Ext2/3 partition to write to. In this LiveCD payload must include Anaconda which can also from the CD install to the HDD. This makes little sense in my opinion, since rootpath doesn't do HDD partitioning e.g. to even allow partitioning of a drive, to get a LiveCD written. Can someone describe some ideas they may have for doing this? Is there some clarity we can establish here? J. Hartline

Patch to consistently use 4 spaces in python files
by Toshio Kuratomi 01 Apr '06

01 Apr '06

Since there's been no replies -- here's a patch to make all python files consistently use 4 spaces and use #!/usr/bin/python -tt I've used it to create some squashfs style images but I haven't checked every single code path to be sure nothing is broken. Patch was 42K so I gzipped it. -Toshio

Kadischi - more changes
by J. Hartline 30 Mar '06

Hi. There was some discussion in the mail threads yesterday that we go ahead and do away with copying /root files with rsync in Kadischi. I looked at it briefly and what I think can be done is not empty /root during 05fsclean.py thus being able to drop the rsync'ing code out of it also in post_install_scripts. The RAMfs will contain the files from /root in any case because they are bound from /livecd/tmpfs to /root. Along with this change, I am curious if we should also "bury" the non-common directories such as /livecd /initrd and /rr_moved e.g. make these hidden rather than having what would be a very obtuse looking root dir.. simply moving these to /.initrd /.livecd and /.rr_moved for instance.

boot kadischi live-cd from USB external CDROM
by Mark Ryden 29 Mar '06

29 Mar '06

Hi, Does anybody know what should I do in order to boot kadischi live-cd from USB external CDROM? I have a motherboard with a BIOS which can boot from the USB , and indeed it starts booting the USB CD and says an error about "usb-storage"; I assume I should add loading this driver (and more) to initrd , but how exactly ? any idea? Regards, Mark

Kadischi - UI
by J. Hartline 28 Mar '06

28 Mar '06

Hi. Some work has been done recently with Kadischi and it is still getting a bit of massaging.. however I wanted to see what ideas we could come up with in kickstarting a rough UI for Kadischi. What would be the most plausible for Kadischi, any ideas? GTK+? Python + GTK? What are some of your ideas? J. Hartline

trademark/copyright issues with distributing kadischi output?
by Jane Dogalt 28 Mar '06

28 Mar '06

My question, which I think should be answered in the docs (it isn't is it?) is this- What if any requirements does the fedora project put on someone distributing an iso generated with kadischi? Does the full spectrum of removing the artwork/trademarks that is associated with creating a fedora derivative distribution apply? If so, I suggest adding a post install script which does this for the user automatically (instead of disabling their firewall ;), or adding big FAT warnings telling people that they cannot redistribute kadsichi output. -jdog __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Kadischi - wiki
by J. Hartline 23 Mar '06

23 Mar '06

Chitlesh Could you fix whatever is broken on the Kadischi/Development page. I was trying to reorder the TOC entries for organization like: - FAQ - Documentation - Download - Schedule - Contributors - LiveCD - Meetings rather than how they were which, really organization should be done anytime making a wiki page. In any caswe, could you fix it. I looked at it for about 3 minutes and do not see the error in the page. The other day I edited a page and it was thrown off by a typo already in the page. I found that luckily, I however can't on the Developers page. J. Hartline
