Problems on a very current FC6
by Brian Dykstra 01 Dec '06

01 Dec '06

Hi, I just found this project this morning and eagerly installed Kadischi after an ugly experience last night with live-linux scripts. My system is a running kernel 2.6.18-1.2849.fc6 I've yum updated all the packages and installed everything required from the wiki install documentation. I had no problem compiling the source. So basically I'm very current and ready to go. When I ran # kadischi --help I got the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/share/kadischi/kadischi.py", line 8, in ? from functions import * File "/usr/local/share/kadischi/lib/functions.py", line 12, in ? import isys File "/usr/lib/anaconda/isys.py", line 32, in ? import block File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/block/__init__.py", line 33, in ? from bdevid import bdevid as _bdevid ImportError: libparted-1.7.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I dug up an older version of parted and install libparted-1.7.so.1 but ran into all new errors: [root@ ~]# kadischi --help Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/share/kadischi/kadischi.py", line 8, in ? from functions import * File "/usr/local/share/kadischi/lib/functions.py", line 12, in ? import isys File "/usr/lib/anaconda/isys.py", line 32, in ? import block File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/block/__init__.py", line 33, in ? from bdevid import bdevid as _bdevid ImportError: /usr/lib/libbdevid.so.5.1.19: undefined symbol: ped_exception_get_handler I was wondering if anyone had Kadischi working on current FC6 (I saw the Unity CD release) and had some pointers? Thanks BD

This according to the main page is where the discussions pertaining to fedora users should belong. This is where there are more users and more discussions/rants/etc. Thanks for the info, Antonio -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Thomas | Consulting for the MLB Associates | Embedded world ------------------------------------------------------------ -- Fedora-livecd-list mailing list Fedora-livecd-list(a)redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-livecd-list ____________________________________________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Proposed changes for fedora
by Antonio Olivares 28 Nov '06

28 Nov '06

Dear all, When visiting Distrowatch.com, I found the following information about Fedora http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20061127 Far-reaching changes affecting the Fedora distribution are looming on the horizon. Discussed by the project's core developers during the recently concluded Fedora Summit, a number of new ideas are currently being submitted for approval by Red Hat. If they are accepted, the "Core" and "Extras" parts of Fedora will merge into what is tentatively called Fedora "Complete", with two separate products, named "Fedora Desktop" and "Fedora Server", emerging from the huge software list. Extending the current support period of about 9 months to around 13 months is another important proposal that will please many Fedora users. Those who enjoy remastering the distribution for their own purposes will be excited to learn about "pungi" and "pilgrim", two tools that will allow building custom distributions and live CDs/DVDs. Pilgrim is also expected to help with delivering an official Fedora live CD/DVD. There is a lot more - please visit the Proposed Changes to the Release Process and Live CD Roadmap pages on FedoraProject.org for more details about these and other changes affecting the popular distribution. Is there any way for the community to have some input on these issues? Is there also another way to find out that these changes are being proposed? Many community members are uninformed and object to some changes when they are made, but since they had no voice they could not do anything about it. Some of these changes like "Fedora Total" seem very logical. We'll still have to wait and see what happens.

Live "USB" trends amd Fedora live CD
by Wayne Sherman 25 Nov '06

25 Nov '06

I have been researching live distros, and it seems to be a trend that Live "CD" distros are increasingly supporting Live "USB" also. For example, DSL has a "5-way install script" that supports several boot options: http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/usb.html One thing I really like is that in addition to booting directly from CD or USB, you can also boot from inside another Windows or Linux environment using the Qemu emulator: http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/usb-qemu.html I really like Fedora, and hope the developers will officially incorporate live USB support since many users want to boot from a USB memory device. Are there any plans for this? I suggest considering a change of the name from Fedora Live "CD" to something more general. Booting from USB, CD, Qemu, IEEE1394, and network are all possible booting options. Thanks, Wayne

Happy TG! What's goin' on with the pilgrims?
by Jane Dogalt 23 Nov '06

23 Nov '06

So I've been following this fedora summit thing, and it sounds like the current fc6 livespin is by no means the end of the fedora livecd project. So David, Can you elaborate a bit on pilgrim's future? Are there any resources/websites/forums/repositories/goalslists/milestonetargets that the readers of this list would be interested in? I'll be busy with finals for awhile, but I might be able to contribute something after that, and in the spring. Certainly I intend to demonstrate my userspace qemu automated system image generator, combined with with a pilgrim/lfs style livecd COW mechanism. -dmc/jdog __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Unionfs for live CD?
by Jos Vos 15 Nov '06

15 Nov '06

Hi, Has the use of unionfs <http://www.am-utils.org/project-unionfs.html> be considered for the Fedora live CD i.s.o. bind mounts? I've looked at Unionfs long ago and at that moment it was not stable enough and it was lacking some features, but things may have changed. -- -- Jos Vos <jos(a)xos.nl> -- X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 -- Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Fax: +31 20 6948204

fc6 livespin torrent anybody?
by Jane Dogalt 07 Nov '06

07 Nov '06

Anybody have any insight into whats up with fedoraunity? They exploded several days ago, and haven't bothered to put any kind of meaningful explanation up on their page. Specifically, anybody got a working torrent of the fc6 livespin they were hosting? Are there any plans to have an infrastructure for hosting official fedora livecds that doesn't depend on them? (or are there backup sites I'm unaware of?) -dmc/jdog ____________________________________________________________________________________ Sponsored Link $200,000 mortgage for $660/mo - 30/15 yr fixed, reduce debt, home equity - Click now for info http://yahoo.ratemarketplace.com
