vpn setup
by Doug Blewett
I am looking at doing a VPN setup from a live CD. The idea is that I
will do the setup based on MAC addresses - that is I will recognize
which machine I am running on based on the MAC address in say eth0.
Has anyone started something like that? Not a whole lot of work - I'll
send it in when I get around to it - if someone has not already done
the bits.

Netboot
by Aaron Hanson
Hi All -
I though this would have been discussed by now but I couldn't find
any relevant threads in the archive. I would like to boot the entire
livecd image via network. To my basic understanding, the simplest way to
do this might be:
-- copy everything from the squashfs image into the (much expanded)
initrd.img
-- use pxelinux instead of isolinux as the boot loader
I've been looking at the Mayflower script, trying to figure out if
it will panic if there is no squashfs to mount. It looks like it might
work but there is a lot there I don't understand.
Has anyone tried something like this? Any suggestions? Thanks.
-Aaron
P.S. It is difficult to search the archive month by month. Does anybody
know of a way to search by year, or search the entire mailing list
archive?

Order of package installation
by Sebastian Vahl
Hi.
Today I've seen this error:
Installing: fonts-hebrew-fancy #####################
[216/684]/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.1969: line 1: fc-cache: command not found
error: %post(fonts-hebrew-fancy-0.20051122-1.fc6.noarch) scriptlet
failed, exit status 127
The problem seems to be that fontconfig (and so fc-cache) is installed
after that:
Installing: fontconfig #####################
[248/684]
Is there a way around this?

firstboot errors after installation
by Sebastian Vahl
Hi.
An actual kde livecd spin with todays rawhide produces some errors when
starting firstboot after installation. The messages say that there are
problems with the firewall and selinux module.
An installation of KDE-Test4 with all updates doesn't show this when
starting firstboot.
If this is worth filling a bug, please tell me. Errors are attached.

I had previously shrunk the NTFS partition to allow me
to install fedora. I had created a swap space before.
I used the option "keep all linux partions and create
default layout".

I booted into rescue mode and everything seems
correct. The image is there.

Taking 6.93 for an A11y test drive
by Janina Sajka
The iso is downloading as I write. My intention is to see if I can run
using Festival and the builtin Orca screen reader.
I understand David has made GDM accessible. What do I do to start speech
for GDM Login? Is it Ctrl-S for 5 seconds?
And, what login should I use?
Sorry for the fundamental questions--but I'm not finding even basic
documentation. Perhaps I'm not looking in the right place?
Thanks in advance.

Livecd-creator attempts to install olders kernel when adding packages to an ISO
by Elias Hunt
LiveCD List,
This may be a silly or repeated question but I've been unable to find
any useful information when searching.
We've just started trying to use the livecd-creator tool rather than
custom building a bootable cd as we have in the past. I'm the lucky one
that gets to make it all work. So far things have gone mostly well and I
was able to setup the custom configuration file and build the RPM
package. The first run of livecd-creator goes without error and creates
an ISO. However when I got to add another package to the ISO using the
"--base-on" flag, livecd-creator attempts to install the kernel again,
except it picks an older version and causes an error. Output is included
below. And I'm happy to provide other documentation if it were useful. I
should mention that I'm using FC 6 with livecd-tools-001-1.
Our end goal here is to have a baseline ISO, that we can then apply a
per-device "configuration" package to as needed, keeping the base ISO
always the same.
I'm open to any help or suggestions from anyone in the community.
Thanks in advance.
