rawhide live install using usb stick problem
by Williamson Grant
Anyone tried to install a live image to disk from a usb drive.
With latest F11 rawhide(20090513), the iso installs using "liveinst"
with little problem from
cd/dvd to disk.
However when I create a usb image boot from the same machine running
"liveinst".
it always seems to hang at the screen after creating the partitions,
i.e. does not advance.
I suspect this is an anaconda issue, however this only occurs on Live
from a usb stick.
Any ideas, or does anyone else see this issue.

livecd-tools 024-1
by Williamson Grant
Anyone else having issues with the latest livecd-tools 024-1.
Almost every custom livecd I create it fails on fsck.
I worked around this, however, could it be changed so it just throws a
warning
and not an exception?

the error is here:

None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Server is suitable for your
running kernel. Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module
for
your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes]
Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override.
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your

live-cd installation failed.
by prakash srinivasan
Hello all,
I prepared a Fedora 9 based iso using the kick start start file. I tried to install my customized fedora 9. The installation started successfully and at around 90th percentage, after the post installation session, I am getting the following error message,
"Error mounting device sda3 as / mount failed. This is most likely means this partition has not been formatted. Press Ok to exist the installer".
After I tried to mount the sda3 partition manually. I cant mount that partition. Seems, the partition got corrupted during the installation.
I cant understand, where is the problem. Did I missed any essential package while I prepared my .ks file?. Help me to install my customized fedora successfully.
Regards,
Prakash.

Can't exclude packages
by juszak＠yahoo.com
I have some packages that I can't seem to exclude. I add the following lines to my kickstart file...
-samba-common
-samba-winbind
When I build the LiveCD these packages are installed anyway. So I tried to figure out what was pulling them in. "rpm -q --whatrequires" reports that samba-common is required by samba-winbind but samba-winbind is not required by any package. S
Does anybody have any ideas what i might be doing wrong?
Thank You,

F11 Preview - No boot on EEEPC 701
by Richard Shaw
I currently have F10 installed on my EEEPC 701. I'm using the exact same USB
thumb drive as I used to install F10. I installed F11 Preview using the
live-usb-creator gui on my F10 desktop. When I boot on the EEEPC it shows a
grey screen and I see the menu box briefly before it scrolls off the screen.
I re-setup my thumb drive from the F10 live CD and it boots fine. Any
suggestions before I bugzilla this?
Thanks,
Richard

Applying STIGs to a LiveCD
by juszak＠yahoo.com
Has anyone gone through the process of running the SRR/CSA scripts against a custom Fedora LiveCD spin (and applying the STIGS)? I help maintain a LiveCD for a project that has to be compliant with the STIGs and I'm interested in comparing notes with others that have this unique requirement.
If anyone is interested in comparing notes on "stigging" LiveCDs (and related policies/procedures), please email me (juszak(a)yahoo.com).
Thank You,
