Hai there,
Finally, there is A livecd based on the Fedora Core 5 Test 3 available
for download.
ftp://ftp.dead.li/
Thanks to JonFautley.
About the Live CD
The liveCD is gnome-based only.
Language & Keyboard settings : french (fr)
ISO size: 694.2 MB
License: same as Fedora Core 5 Test 3
why french? because i had already an iso for a French project and to
promote FC5 as well.
Ill replace the iso during the weekend by an ENGLISH version.
username = root
password = fedora
If your favorite packages are not in the livecd or it does not support
your language, you can still create your own Fedora Core 5 Test 3 live
cd with Kadischi.
Support for writing a release note during the enhancement of this
livecd is welcome. ;)

We need a standard guest account, someone who isn't UID/GID 0.
I'm also curious, is this "Official" Fedora Core media?
I was unaware anything test would be used for anything, as it is for
developers and testers or bug trackers only.
Can you elaborate.

Not sure what you mean by that but it is just something Chitlesh has
produced. Not a formal project level effort. There isnt much need to
differentiate between these now though. Once a suitable version for
general users is released we can endorse the effort as a formal one if
required.

A test version of the current development tree as a live CD.

As I said before, my aim to build an OFFICIAL Livecd for the Fedora Project.
But still, we have a long way to go.
My test releases are meant for giving us some directions which we need
to give a close look at.
It is not ready yet for stable usage. As Rahul said, it hasnt yet be a
formal project level.
This is what Im trying to do. With my test releases, step by step Im
starting to attract attention to this project and prepare ground for
the Official media.
E.g:
having a server to allow downloads
keeping our slow development in the right track
preparing promotional material for the Official media
etc
it is also a way for brainstorming.

If the images are a combination of packages only from the Fedora Core

within fedoraproject.org. Write to fedora-websites list about getting
some storage space if you are interested in that.

I have contacted Greg, Sopwith and SethVidal.

Seth said he is willing to put the livecd on the fp.org but there must

When did you build a LiveCD?
Did you send out any email asking if anyone had anything to contribute,
or is this -your- LiveCD?
I think before a LiveCD is produced for the Fedora Project (Even if it
employs test packages, from FC5 Test 3)
we need to have these taken care of:
Auto login into Fedora with fedora as the default user name.
Provide fedora and root usernames with blank passwords. Security is not
a concern for a Live CD
Add some good introductory and promotional material in a desktop folder
by default
provide a Fedora introduction in the bootup prompt by default
Among other things.
If these are already finished please update the Kadischi/Schedule.

I just really think it is goofy to try and push out a LiveCD that
deploys
FC5t3 packages when FC5 is due in about a week and a half.

Is this proposal still standing ?

No! Security is very much a concern here. We need to make sure we
don't start a spread of worms from our live CD.
This will mean some hard choices between a very strict network lock down
or doing some sort of password set up at boot time.

If you have ways to log in remotely, then it could allow for people to
log in and start running, eg, eggbots or any of a number of other things
if there's a blank password.
So it's not necessarily that auto-login to a non-administrative account
is bad (it probably does make sense). But just that thinking "oh,
security isn't a concern for a live cd" is not wise.

I am not a fan of blank root passwords, or blank passwords altogether, I
am just quoting what is
in the Kadischi/Schedule as of when the email was written. I personally
am more interested in
SquashFS and am waiting to see if busybox can be rebuilt with losetup
since 1.10 emplys this feature
and busybox-anaconda-1.01 is the last update available.
Really.. I mean when I first talked to Elliot Lee about maintaining an
RPM of Kadischi
(On my own time or even a package that could eventually go into Extras)
he asked me
certainly I wasn't patching Anaconda from the RPM %post scripts, of
course not.
In this same sense I don't see how a community project benefits without
several inputs
like second person points of view.. will the "Unofficial" CD Chitlesh is
putting out
have sshd started by default.. blank root passwords? This certainly
doesn't spell anything good.
My point is I don't believe non-input is the way to go about getting
_something_ out to the public.
Personally I'm confused, I started into this project wanting to see the
fedora-livecd-list in the already
established mailing lists, list. Now we are (going to?) pushing out
insecure, non-community driven
CDs. I've obviously missed something since August.

What is non community driven here? Chitlesh is trying to get a Live CD
and we can evaluate and fix any issues after testing it out. If there
are security concerns help by providing feedback and patches.

thread about the French CD.
When he created a French language CD, many people including me asked
for a English language CD since it would appeal to larger audience. We
discussed this in #fedora-mktg channel. Not all discussions happen in
the list. I dont think thats awkward at all. What is the issue here?

Why I created a French Live CD ?
Because in my programming classes (here in france), we are going to
use linux based systems.
So being a Fedora ambassador, Ive seized the opportunity to market
Fedora among my mates.
A livecd in the local language has more success, doesn't it?
After sending a mail to the marketing list about my marketing idea, it
turns out that there is a demand for an english version.
That is why Im building an English version :)

I have a working script for autologin.
So should I include this feature in my next build or not ?
in /usr/share/gdm/defaults.conf, I've only set
AutomaticLoginEnable=true
AutomaticLogin=fedora
So is remote login still a problem for security if i have
AllowRemoteAutoLogin=false

To enabled it we need root access right. What if root has a password

and the user "fedora" doesn't ?
Does the root user have a password that's stable or do we prompt on
boot? If it's something that's standard, then it is "known" and just
as
(not) useful as having it be blank.
If we're doing auto-login for the fedora user, then we almost certainly
want to also have the account locked so there's no password. Then we
don't have to worry about logins from the fedora user remotely. It does
mean they also can't log in from the console, though, and we have to
ensure that the screensaver never asks for a password.
Jeremy

We could exclude fedora user from ssh access right?

Also don't forget, you are welcome to check the Linux4all site and
scripts, and
see what can be done with it and see about getting Kadischi to use it.
This is one step in the right direction for saving stuff like user settings.

We can consider after finishing up for FC5, to include such
functionality.. to save somewhere - online/offline user preferences.
What other think about passwordless fedora user which is excluded from
ssh access?
