success and failure
by tony
OK I was joking.
I have a minimal live CD that boots. It is made from a yum updated FC4
and the sample ks file from CVS.
So I can't log in of course as I don't have the root password.
from kickstart howto:
"rootpw
Set the initial root password, based on a previously derived
encrypted password
rootpw --iscrypted XaacoeGPmf/A."
Cool! But what if I want an easy old password like livecd for root?
How do i generate and where do I find the encrypted password without
messing with the root password of my running system?
Second is there anyone who has instructions for making a live CD that
boots into gdm? My live CD is destined to run only on VIA Epia so
I know all about the video card.
Cheers
Tony

what is wrong with my genhdlist
by tony
[root@hush
~]# /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/genhdlist /media/FC4/Fedora/base
error creating file /media/FC4/Fedora/base/anaconda/base/hdlist: No such
file or directory
Reading through the doc I can't see where I am going wrong. A keener eye
perhaps?
cheers

FCLiveCD with a persistent home possibly?
by J. Hartline
I've seen a few LiveCDs that allow for a persistent home, I am curious
if this could be possible with the Official
Fedora Core LiveCD. The reason is of course we know that when the
systems power is shut down the settings
are lost. I know this can be done manually but we also know many LiveCD
users do not know enough about
the system to do this. A tool allowing the immediate mounting of an
FAT32,Ext2,Ext3 partition under /home
or /home/user would be something to look into. Other LiveCDs have this.
This idea was suggested to me by a Fedora Core user in the UK.
This would require I guess, unless further developed and integrated, an
already available partition, that is formatted
of course. Ok, thanks

Hash: SHA1
Hi,
I'm updating against HEAD, and have a problem with shutil not being
imported (and also a supposed fix to remove rsplit for us 2.4-challenged
Pythonistas) - and thanks to Patrick for the anaconda preorder patch -
maybe one day, this thing will actually work ;)

a little question of linuxrc of kadischi initrd
by Mark Ryden
Hello,
I have a qustion which is connected indirectly to kadischi, if I may:
I hope someone knows the answer and can answer.
I saw that the linuxrc script of the initrd.img that kadischi uses
(/boot/isolinux/initrd.img)
has the following lines:
.....
....
cd /
find-live-cd /sysroot
# Make kernel don't mount root fs
echo 0x100 > /proc/sys/kernel/real-root-dev
.....
.....
I have a little question : what is the effect of the
echo 0x100 > /proc/sys/kernel/real-root-dev commans ?
(In the init script of initrd of fedora core 4 there is no such echo
0x100 command
; I know that this initrd is a different format but if I am not wrong
also in older
version of Fedora/RedHat there were no such echo 0x100 commands in the
linuxrc scripts)
Regards,
MR

using kernel.org kernel
by tony
Hi,
This may be a FAQ - I would like to use a kernel.org kernel rather than
an FC one. Is this documented somewhere? I will also be swapping out
X.org for a modified version.
My goal is a live CD for VIA Epia M systems.
Cheers
Tony

Announcement!
by Darko Ilic
Hi folks,
I was away for some time, but I`m happy to announce my comeback :)))
I know that many of you gave a chance to Kadischi, with more or less success.
I really appreciate your efforts, and feel very sorry for not being there to
help you with all the problems you ran into.
For the beginning, I've added a couple of lines to the Kadischi documentation.
Feel free to go to the web page and check it out.
I`m attacking bugs now, hope to work them out.
