Booting from Flash?
by Darren Humphrey 08 Nov '05

08 Nov '05

I am having some success making a bootable livecd, but my ultimate goal is to boot from a compact flash card. I found an article from someone who did it with knoppix: http://linuxdevices.com/articles/AT8275095591.html Any ideas on how to do the same with Fedora? My grub/lilo skills are a bit weak... Thanks, Darren Humphrey

some more issues

27 Oct '05

Last evenings issues =:-D When I boot I have the boot: prompt. I would like to boot without this option. Kickstart or anaconda issue? I would like to keep SSH but on each boot the keys are generated and it takes forever. Is there a way around this? Back grounding key generation perhaps? Then a configuration dialogue pops up for all sorts of options - I would prefer that it didn't... Overall is there a way to boot a live CD with rhgb directly into gdm?

yes I told Darko about ash not being present in FC4 repos, maybe he'll sort it out by the time he finishes the project > building .rpms of kadischi. I of course am running on a FC3 -> FC4 > upgraded system, so I have /bin/ash. -- Cheers, Filip

Additional detail, I was running kadischi via sudo. $UID is set to zero.

Interesting note about kadischi
by Luya Tshimbalanga 25 Oct '05

25 Oct '05

I currently use kadischi on Fedora Core 4 with Anaconda-runtime 10.2.1.5-2. My previous problem was related to the rawhide version of anaconda with is by far incomplete and unstable due to the use of yum-api. Anaconda on FC4 was able to fully install rawhide but the problem occured on post-installation: $ sudo kadischi http://fedora.mirrored.ca/fedora/4/i386/os/ /tmp/livecd/fedora-live.iso Password: Sorry, try again.

Kadischi .rpm package
by J. Hartline 25 Oct '05

25 Oct '05

Hello. A few days ago a user was curious if an Kadischi .rpm package existed yet, I personally do not know of one. What I have done is build a kadischi .rpm package using the CVS, and notified the user patching anaconda-runtime will still be neccessary. I am curious if you guys would be interested in having an .rpm package of kadischi built, say on the scale of every few weeks or every month until you find a package handler and maintainer.. I tested my own package (using --test), and made sure all files were packaged of course. This is question number one. Question two.. rpmbuild sorts out what we know as dependencies. According to rpmbuild, /bin/ash is a requirement, which it is, livecd-linuxrc is a /bin/ash shell script.. I am curious, since I do not see a Fedora Core 4 ash-package, if this will change or not, and if not, what to do about it if you are building .rpms of kadischi. I of course am running on a FC3 -> FC4 upgraded system, so I have /bin/ash. Please comment/respond/delete my email as neccessary. Jasper Hartline

Anaconda crashing during install

problems solved new ones appear
by tony 21 Oct '05

21 Oct '05

Hello, Please excuse my newbieness on IRC channel yesterday. Despite using the Internet since Sept 1994 I had never used IRC before! IM yes IRC no... I did solve a lot of problems since and have a ks file for building a LiveCD with X (modified for CLE266) and Gnome. I am about to modify comp.xml to include some new packages and remove unused ones. I have uncovered a bug in the post install scripts that I have posted to bugzilla - when the script runs it cleans out name servers in resolve.conf on the build machine! I noticed because the radio stopped every time I build an iso (14 to date). Thank you radioparadise! Just a short question: does the --resolvedeps option have any bugs?
