My live CD has no boot option in the menu
by Richard W.M. Jones
Can anyone see anything obviously wrong in the attached kickstart?
The live CD appears to build fine (tried both F20 & Rawhide versions
of livecd-creator).
However when booted in qemu:
qemu-system-x86_64 -m 2048 -cdrom livecd-minimal-201405171054.iso -boot d
it only has the "Troubleshooting" menu. There is no other boot menu,
nor does it autoboot (I waited quite a while), nor is there any
visible indication that it is going to autoboot, eg. no countdown.
Also attached is the isolinux.cfg file extracted from the ISO.
Any ideas here?
Rich.
PS. If you want to try building from the kickstart, you will have to
remove or change the --proxy option from the repo lines.

Can not get persistence
by ToddAndMargo
Hi All,
Xfce 4.8
Scientific Linux 6.4, 64 bit
livecd-tools-13.4.5-1.el6.x86_64
For the life of me I can not get any persistence (things
don't stay between reboots).
What am I doing wrong ("#" is my boot prompt)?
# fdisk /dev/sdc d1, n, p1, t, c, w (use type "C" for fat32)
# mkdosfs -v -c /dev/sdc1
# livecd-iso-to-disk --overlay-size-mb 4095 --format --reset-mbr
/home/kvm/Fedora-Live-Xfce-x86_64-20-1.iso /dev/sdc1
Many thanks,
-T
