custom kernel
by tony
Hello,
There haven't been many messages as of late and my last question went
unanswered. I hope this one get a reply because it is a show stopper...
I am trying to customise the kernel and rebuild the kernel rpm for my
live CD. As it is destined to run on VIA Epia-M only I want all the VIA
specific option enabled. I have followed the instructions here:
http://crab-lab.zool.ohiou.edu/kevin/kernel-compilation-tutorial-en/steps...
Does any one have another source for more recent instruction on kernel
packaging?
Cheers
Tony

help with following fedoranews how to
by Kevin V
Hi all,
I am attempting to create a FC4 live cd for the first time.
I have followed the how to at
http://fedoranews.org/mediawiki/index.php/Creating_a_Fedora_Core_4_LiveCD...
- I however got confused at the step: tar cvzf livecd.tar.gz
livecd.tar.gz
Which i replace with: tar cvzf livecd.tar.gz livecd
- Secondly I did a mkfs image/livelinuxcd.vhd, before doing the tune2fs
steps, since I was getting an error with the latter complaining about
not being a valid block device.
Other than those two diversions, I did as on the how to!
I now get an error when booting the cd that says, ->
pivot_root: pivot_root: No such file or directory
init started: BusyBox v 0.60.2 ...
Bummer, could not run '/etc/init.d/rcS': No such file or directory <-
Could anyone help me out?
Thanks

X11 and desktop speedups?
by Skunk Worx
I've had a lot of luck filling the ks %post are with customizations, yum
updating, adding custom packages, etc.
Also getting comfortable modifying the /livecd/kadischi.tar.gz files to
populate /root with some needed KDE menus and scripts, etc. Also am
getting a handle on the py and sh scripts.
I've noticed I have to append "smp" to the kernel version in kadischi.py
to get an smp kernel. Maybe there could be a command line option for
smp? Just an idea.
Right now I'm trying to come up with some way to speed up X11 and the
desktop launch. It seems pretty slow compared to knoppix. I assume it's
the decompression of the lib and bin files, not sure.
Has anyone come up with a way to speed things up? I'm guessing I can
either save some bins and libs to media uncompressed (just as the
kernel, kadaschi.tar.gz, initrd, isolinux, etc. are) or maybe decompress
tarballs on startup into a ramdisk or some such.
Any ideas or success stories are appreciated.

Booting from Flash?
by Darren Humphrey
I am having some success making a bootable livecd, but my ultimate goal is
to boot from a compact flash card.
I found an article from someone who did it with knoppix:
http://linuxdevices.com/articles/AT8275095591.html
Any ideas on how to do the same with Fedora?
My grub/lilo skills are a bit weak...
Thanks,

installing from liveCD
by tony
Hi,
I read that Ubuntu is about to release a liveCD that can be installed to
the HD. I would like my liveCD to be able to do that. Can it be done
already with kickstart?
Second in order to get around various problems concerning dvdcss and
other multimedia libraries and programs I need but which have "issues"
can I have a user clickable button to do a yum install with sudo? I
don't see why not, but would like to know if anyone has ever done this
kind of thing.
Third I am having trouble with encrypted passwords for my default user.
What is the best way of encrypting the password then getting the
encrypted text to install in my liveCD?
TIA
Tony

kadischi rpm packaging
by J. Hartline
Curious if and when kadischi is in the correct stage for packaging.
I have a built a package and it works fine provided you have
/bin/ash(among other reqs).
The thing still needs a work such as, the directories need specified,
the DOCS need specified, and I know of one config
file, I am also curious what other files qualify as cobfig file in the
kadischi CVS. build.conf is the only one I know of.
Thanks for your time.
