F7 general question about livecd-creator and timezones
by Skunk Worx 01 May '09

01 May '09

My ks scripts have the timezone set to PDT (America/Los_Angeles). Installation to a hard drive works as expected. PDT in startup and in shells, etc. Creating a livecd-creator iso with the same tz setting, then booting, shows A/L_A in the /etc/sysconfig/clock file, as expected. However the date is always EDT in the boot messages, shells, etc. During startup I see : (lvm) Press I to enter interactive startup Setting clock (utc) Mon Jun 4 00:12:59 EDT 2007 (udev) I'm not clear on what is happening between lvm and udev in the Linux startup sequence. If someone could give me a hint about what to look for and where to look for it I would appreciate the help. --- John

Hello there, I want to create minimal fedora livecd with some local addons, I don't need any desktop. I used minimal.ks but it has missed login things, somebody could advise me what to add to livecd-fedora-minimal.ks in order it will allow me to log in with root on any other account, plus I want to run sshd on it. Thanks, Gmvects

This may be off-topic, but I'm hoping someone from RH will read it. I'm getting the following errors when using yum: [root@karsites ~]# yum update livna 100% |=========================| 2.1 kB 00:00 http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/li…: [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-3, 'Temporary failure in name resolution')> Trying other mirror. fedora 100% |=========================| 2.1 kB 00:00 adobe-linux-i386 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/li…: [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-3, 'Temporary failure in name resolution')> Trying other mirror. updates 100% |=========================| 2.3 kB 00:00 Setting up Update Process No Packages marked for Update [root@karsites ~]# Is it me, or is there a problem with the servers?

Hello all, I have created a live cd with modified linux kernel using livecd-create tool. Just installing the kernel rpm on the system using rpm -ivh works fine. But when I try booting from the livecd, it gives the following error. Loading vlinuz0......................................................................

[PATCH] Run e2fsck before resize2fs
by Mark McLoughlin 20 Dec '07

20 Dec '07

resize2fs barfs if you haven't run e2fsck on the filesystem beforehand, so do this in the case of resizing an existing image. We already do this when minimising an image.

Added a progress bar to livecd-iso-to-disk.sh
by Tan Swee Heng 19 Dec '07

19 Dec '07

The last few steps of livecd-iso-to-disk.sh usually take a long time While waiting, one sees the message "Copying live image to USB stick" without any indication of progress. It would be great if a progress bar is displayed. The attached patch implements a progress bar with ETA information. (I was inspired by http://www.theiling.de/projects/bar.html for this patch.) Hope everyone finds this useful. Regards, Swee Heng
