Re: [Fedora-livecd-list] How to install a tar file (not a rpm ) into livecd?

hi tim: Thanks for your fast reply, I've found how to copy file to livecd using the %post-nochroot and pasted here,you made my day,thanks again. in your own config/kickstart, you can add a section like the following (note, you can just add this, as there can be multiple of these %post sections) %post --nochroot mkdir $INSTALL_ROOT/usr/share/extramedia cp /home/mdickson/some.mpeg \ $INSTALL_ROOT/usr/share/extramedia/ mkdir $LIVE_ROOT/momedia cp /home/mdickson/someother.mpeg \ $LIVE_ROOT/momedia/ %end Note, the first part, will add the file to the root filesystem that is visible when you boot up the livecd/usb. And as a result will be compressed during the build process (but obviously not well, as mpeg is already compressed as much as it can). The second part (using LIVE_ROOT instead of INSTALL_ROOT), will add the file to the cdrom filesysem, uncompressed. As such, the user could for instance easily see the file if they dropped the cdrom into a windows system (on the cdrom, under the top level folder 'momedia').

If you just want to copy some files over to a livecd, you can do it during post nochroot. If you do a search on the list archives, you'll find details.
