Re : [Fedora-livecd-list] Custom kernel, and custom initrd generation
by El Kindi REZIG
But I use a kernel which I downloaded from kernel.org, and I applied some patches to it, I don't think these patches can be applied to the Fedora kernel as well. Any hints?

If you do use an RPM, this all falls in place nicely. Better yet, base
it on the RPM from Fedora and you have all the magic you need. The
kernel SRPM (or actually it's spec) even has some documentation in it's
comment on how to do it.
Kind regards,

Custom kernel, and custom initrd generation
by El Kindi REZIG
Hello everybody,
I'd like to use my own custom kernel which I
applied some patches to, with live cd creator, and it's not in RPM
format, I just untar it in the %post section into the right directories
in the live cd image, but for the live initrd file I can't copy it like
I do for vmlinuz, modules/, so I want to generate the live initrd for
my custom kernel, is it possible to do that?

Re : installation of livecd fails
by El Kindi REZIG
Hello everybody,
I'd like to use my own custom kernel which I applied some patches to, with live cd creator, and it's not in RPM format, I just untar it in the %post section into the right directories in the live cd image, but for the live initrd file I can't copy it like I do for vmlinuz, modules/, so I want to generate the live initrd for my custom kernel, is it possible to do that?

Portuguese Spins update
by Pedro Silva
Hi all!
Here's some git diffs for the pt_PT spins that I've been working on.
Although I have git access, I still haven't set it up. I hope someone
can pick these changes.
I still don't know how to change the KDE's keyboard workaround, so
changes will come after I install KDE on my system and look it up.
Actually, livecd-kde-pt_PT and livecd-electronic-lab-pt_PT still have
de-latin1 in the keyboard workaround.
I wonder how will Evdev Input Driver, new feature in Fedora 10, change
the gnome/xorg keyboard workaround.

Making a Live USB stick from running Live CD session: Unable to fit live image FAILURE
by Robert Kwasniewski
I am new to Fedora. I was trying to make a Live USB from a running
Live CD session per the instructions here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD/USBHowTo
About half way down that page:
Bootable USB from a running Live CD/DVD
If you are already running a live CD or DVD and want to convert that
into a bootable USB stick, run the following command:
livecd-iso-to-disk /dev/live /path/tousbstick
With a 4GB SanDisk Cruzer mounted as sdi1, I went into /mnt/live/
LiveOS and ran:
./livecd-iso-to-disk squashfs.img /dev/sdi1
The script runs, and asks to add an MBR etc, but it cannot complete
and gives this message:
Unable to fit live image + overlay on available space on USB stick
Size of live image: 4096
Overlay size:
Available space: 3729
Cleaning up to exit...
The squashfs.img is 686MB, so this should work? I also tried --no-
verify and --overlay-size-mb set to zero and low values. I got the
same message. I did some searching, and found a thread about tricks
for doing Live USB from Live CD:
http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Fedora/2008-05/msg02160.html
However, I figured since it was in the wiki, it is supposed to work.
Also, the code that I saw was referencing $CDMNT and $USBMNT, but I
have no such environment variables on my running Live install. Any
clues?
Thanks,
Rob

livecd-iso-to-pxeboot.sh and initrd0.img
by Andreas Zuber
Hello
I have a problem with the creation of a livesystem for our pxe-server. I
customized a kickstart for the livecd-creator and he successfully creates a
new iso out of that information.
But when i try to extract the images with livecd-iso-to-pxeboot.sh, it says:
"The ISO image doesn't look like a LiveCD ISO image to me.
Cleaning up to exit..."
The script is looking for the file " /isolinux/initrd0.img" if i get that
right. But this file isn't on the created CD.
Content of the created live CD:
./isolinux
./isolinux/boot.cat
./isolinux/isolinux.bin
./isolinux/isolinux.cfg
./isolinux/menu.c32
./LiveOS
./LiveOS/osmin.img
./LiveOS/squashfs.img
My question is now, what is wrong here? Got the initrd0.img renamed during
development of the livecd-tools and the livecd-iso-to-pxeboot.sh needs to be
fixed or is there something wrong with my configuration in the kickstart file
and the imitrd0.img still has to be created normally?
further i tried to build one of the kickstart files from the spin-kickstarts
repository, but it could not be created because of some dependency issues. My
own kickstart file used our local repositories and they are managed by
cobbler.
Versions of livecd-tools i used were recent fedora9 version and git HEAD.
Greeting
Andy

I would also LOVE to see livecd-creator not needing root. Has anyone
talked to the livecd developers about this (email CC'd)? I can't find
any recent discussion on their mailing list about it though.
Mock does this by having a C helper program called, creatively,
'mock-helper' which does all the SUID operations needed on behalf of
mock. The result is obviously very successful for them.
Here is the source for mock-helper:

One cool thing about fakeroot for those not familiar with it, is that
it doesn't just fake root operations, eg. chowning a file, but it also
remembers the faked state of file ownership/permissions etc.
