Allowing livecd images large than 4GiB
by Bruno Wolff III
I have submitted a feature request (allow with a patch to implement the
feature) for livecd-creator to use udf instead of iso9660 so that the
images can be larger than 4GiB. This would allow full use of DVDs
(the lowest maximum size for standard sized disks is 4.7GB) adding about
400MB of compressed space. This could also be used to create much larger
spins for use on live usb's.
I have successfully tested my patch on a spin that was over 4GiB, but still
fit on a DVD. The testing wasn't that extensive, but it booted and I was
able to run a couple of games without seeing a problem.
I am not an expert in DVD/CD formats so there may be things I have missed.
The feature request is bug 476696.

What is supposed to pull in a display manager?
by Bruno Wolff III
I have been trying to get a games spin in shape and have been doing some
testing using F10 + updates + updates-testing.
I found in my tests that no display manager was getting pulled in resulting
in prefdm restarting enough times to get turned off and X never came up.
Adding gdm to the package list fixed this problem.
(On a related note, even after this something tried to run
gnome-power-manager which wasn't installed.)
Should the livecd-base kickstart include gdm or is there a better fix
for this issue?

Fix, --tmpdir relative path
If a relative path is passed as --tmpdir it sets the build and inst root to
"relative path" which then gets passes to yum as the install root and causes
oddities with dependency resolution

livecd-creator stops without errors :(
by Vnpenguin
Hi ,
I run livecd-creator on FC10 i386 box (with all updates).
The first time is ok. But after that, when I added some packages into
my KS file, this tool stops work without give me any error message :

My command line is:
# livecd-creator -v -d -c myconfig.ks -f FC10test --logfile=log.txt -t
/tmp --cache=/var/cache/livecd
myconfig.ks is my customized KS config from XFCE desktop of FC10.
So even with -d & -v options, I see nothing on screen :(
Is there any way to enable more debug output ?
Thanks,

new dbus 1.2.6-1 breaks livecd images:
by Phil Meyer
Several show stoppers in builds of 64bit F10 after this round of
updates, which include dbus 1.2.6-1.
I get:
Starting system message bus: Failed to start message bus: Error in
file /etc/
dbus-1/system.d/org.gnome.CPUFreqSelector.conf, line 1, column0: no
element found
Several other things fail with lack of disk space, even though the
messaging at kernel loading regarding "no persistant overlay: using
temporary" did appear.

Copy livecd to ram ?
by Tim.Einmahl＠kba.de
Dear all,
I am using livecd-tools-013-8.i386.rpm from
http://www.nanotechnologies.qc.ca/propos/linux/centos-live/$basearch/liv
e
to build an RHEL5.2 live-cd.
I successfully created one with a jetty-application-server running an
application.
Now my question is, is there a way to copy the hole cd into memory and
run it from there, like the copytoram from knoppix ?
This would avoid accessing the cd anymore.
We really need this feature, as this server is hosted in the office.
Kind regards
Tim
