What is kadischi capable of ?
by Andy Trayford
Hi All,
I've been a watcher here for a while now, and have also tried out
kadischi on FC5.
What I really need and think a liveCD generation tool should offer is as
follows:
- Bootable customised version of chosen distribution
- Ability to make the distribution as "Light" or minimalistic
as possible.
this includes chopping down an X solution (i.e. XFCE/fluxbox) as small
as possible.
- Total package choice independancy without having to install
buckets of dependencies.
- Media delivery options: USB / CD / DVD.
- Cross Platform: PowerPC (IBM & Mac), X86, X86-64, Solaris,
Itanium (efi).
By Cross Platform I mean ability to produce same configuration on all
Distro supported architecture.
- Minimal or no boot menu's: i.e. complete hardware auto
detection or Menu customisation.
possibly only configure IP address by menu choice ?
- Custom Boot splash or no boot splash.
There are many minimalistic distro's like DSL or comprehensive ones like
Knoppix.
Under standard liveCD tools it seems impossible to create a replica
distro like either of these without creating a heavily bloated DVD
image.
Does Fedora have the capability of reproducing such distro's for its
supported architecture list.
My reason is to use a specific application in both X & Cmdline, and
useable in our labs on all platforms, on the smallest media possible.
Currently I believe from the discussions I am seeing that its barely
possible for fedora to even complete any kind of liveCD, although Jdogs
pilgrim seems to be the closest in theory ? is pilgrim available and
useable ? or have I got the wrong idea about pilgrim? (I haven't seen a
website for pilgrim).
If anyone has any positive info on how fedora could be used to match my
requests, I would be very interested to test and use on all platforms.
Thanks All

Problems on a very current FC6
by Brian Dykstra
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 ?

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 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
