1. How do I get slim to start up in the LiveCD boot. I have been
using the fedora-livecd-lxde.ks as a template. Before Fedora 17, I
used
to put the following in my kickstart file:
# create /etc/sysconfig/desktop (needed for installation)
cat > /etc/sysconfig/desktop <<EOF
PREFERRED=/usr/bin/pekwm
DISPLAYMANAGER=/usr/sbin/slim-dynwm
EOF
I noticed that slim has moved from sbin/ to bin/ so I made the change,
but I can not get this to start up when booting from a LiveCD. How do I
get this to start up? I tried including systemctl enable slim but I
still can not get it to display the Login Manager. (I do get the text
prompt.) How do I fix this?
Yes, systemd has taken over and you set the display manager by enabling it. So your
systemctl enable slim.service should do it assuming there is a systemd target file for
slim.
2. I have a few rpms of my own i would like to include in the
LiveCD. How can this be done? Are there examples somewhere that I
could look at?
That's easy. Just take your rpms and put them in a web accessible directory, cd to
that directory and run "createrepo .". Of course you need to have createrepo
installed for that to work. Then just add a reference for your new repo in your kickstart
file just like your other repos... and then add your packages to your package list. If
you don't have a webserver handy you can do it on the same system with a file://
reference I think.
TYL,
