This project will allow you to create a CentOS 5.1 LiveCD using a patched version of livecd-tools 013. Creating a RHEL 5.1 LiveCD with the tools provided there should be simple. -- Patrice

Try if # livecd-creator --config=/full/path/to/livecd-rhel5-base-desktop.ks is working. if it work you can replace os.chdir(dirname) with if dirname: os.chdir(dirname) Then it will only change directory if a full path is definded.

I managed to build an ISO with your config and latest git and patches. I haven't tried to boot it, though. Cheers, Mark.

Would it make sense to add anaconda (and before f8, anaconda-runtime) as requirements of livecd-tools? Rahul Sundaram wrote: -- _________________________________ Tim Wood, CLP, RHCT 719.338.7484 (tel) The Data Wranglers Web, Database & more since since 1994 www.datawranglers.com
