Kadischi - dropping FC4 Anaconda patches

by J. Hartline

Is anyone running Kadischi on Fedora Core 4? I ask because I am wondering if we should drop the patches from Kadischi for Fedora Core 4's Anaconda. Since those patches were neccessary, Anaconda has come a long way for supporting Kadischi. From not needing patches, to working with all media types as repositories, to being able to be run from the LiveCD.. I think it is ok to drop the patches since they are no longer neccessary.. Chitlesh, can you remake the patch for the spec file, with the correct changes we discussed? Also, is there a current review request for Kadischi in bugzilla, to get Kadischi into Extras? J.

Patch: Spec : sticking to FE guidelines

by Chitlesh GOORAH

Hello Jasper, Here is a patch for the spec file. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/FullExceptionList: glib2-devel and e2fsprogs dropped as BR According to new FR python packaging guidelines, %{ghost} should no longer be used! http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Python I quote: ---------- In the past it was common practice to %ghost .pyo files in order to save a small amount of space on the users filesystem. However, this has two issues: 1. With SELinux, if a user is running python -O [APP] it will try to write the .pyos when they don't exist. This leads to AVC denial records in the logs. 2. If the system administrator runs python -OO [APP] the .pyos will get created with no docstrings. Some programs require docstrings in order to function. On subsequent runs with python -O [APP] python will use the cached .pyos even though a different optimization level has been requested. The only way to fix this is to find out where the .pyos are and delete them. The current method of dealing with pyo files is to include them as is, no %ghosting ---------- %changelog - (BR) glib2-devel and e2fsprogs are in FE exception list, autoconf depends on automake - Cleaned directory ownership of %%{_datadir}/%%{name} - Removed python and perl as requires - Fixed permissions of COPYING and lib/shvar.py - Added timestamps while copying files as required by FE - Added *.pyc,*.pyo in the package, as stated in the new FE python guidelines Can you change the permissions of COPYING and lib/shvar.py upsteam directly and remove the appropriate lines on my patch ?

LiveCD on Compact flash

by Junevicus, Lucius R CTR NAVFAC SE

I have a LiveCD built using Kadischi and would like to move this to a CF flash. I've tried both syslinux and grub to boot up from the CF flash and get to the same place with either method. Basically I see the initial splash screen, but it fails someplace in the linuxrc scripts I believe it has to do with the find_live_cd program not finding the image on the flash drive. I've tried changing the lines in the linuxrc from: find-live-cd /cdrom To # find-live-cd /cdrom mount /dev/hda1 /cdrom But have had no luck. I guess the find-live-cd program searched the CD devices for the images and mounts the one it finds to /cdrom. This isn't working for me. Any idea as to what I'm doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Lucius.

Kadishi + image on Hard Disk

by cassbeck＠free.fr

Hi, I would like to know if there is a simple way to boot on a copy of the live CD on a hard disk. I explain what I want to do: 1) Copy the kadischi live cd ISO on a hard disk (D: FAT32) 2) Boot on the live cd 3) Make the live cd using iso on the hard disk in place of the iso on the cdrom reader Is it possible ? How can I do that ? Thanks, CassBeck
