Hi, our local LUG organized Fedora/Ubuntu install fest and I created for that occasion respin of Fedora 8 Live CD with updated packages because I didn't want to have 10 people go and try to get 200MB (or is it even more) of updates all at once.
I found out one bug that livecd.creator has or kickstart file, or something else, so please help me because I don't know where to file this bug.
I recreated the Fedora 8 Live CD with this command: livecd-creator -c livecd-fedora-8-desktop.ks -f F8Desktop -t /virtual/tmp
It boots and it installs to hard disk without problems, but after first boot there is no "first boot wizard" that creates user so all users get is an empty gdm screen to which then can it they know enter root as a user.
Has anybody tried making respins for F8 Live CD? Do your lice CDs work as original F8 so that you get first time boot wizard that asks for user name and password so you create user that will log on later?
Cheers, Valent.

Is the firstboot package actually present on a live image?

Is there a way to mount sqashfs.img file without decompressing iso file from it? I googled and all I found was how to extract the iso file and then mount it :(

Sorry for dumb question, I just did: # mount -o loop /media/F8Desktop/LiveOS/squashfs.img /mnt/test1
and it mounts :)

Don't know if this is related or not, but I did a clean network install on a student's computer (with Updates repo enabled) and ran into the same problem.
Firstboot was installed, but the firstboot wizard didn't run.

I'm now writing from a freshly installed F8 Live CD (my respin with only updated packages no custom ones)
and here you go:
# yum install firstboot Setting up Install Process Parsing package install arguments Package firstboot - 1.4.39-1.fc8.noarch is already installed.
# whereis firstboot firstboot: /usr/sbin/firstboot /usr/share/firstboot
]# grep firstboot /var/log/ -R /var/log/anaconda.log:13:07:17 INFO : moving (1) to step firstboot /var/log/anaconda.log:13:19:31 INFO : moving (1) to step firstboot

What other log can I look for errors so to troubleshoot this bug?
Cheers, Valent.

Maybe this helps:
