F7 general question about livecd-creator and timezones
by Skunk Worx
My ks scripts have the timezone set to PDT (America/Los_Angeles).
Installation to a hard drive works as expected. PDT in startup and in
shells, etc.
Creating a livecd-creator iso with the same tz setting, then booting,
shows A/L_A in the /etc/sysconfig/clock file, as expected.
However the date is always EDT in the boot messages, shells, etc.
During startup I see :
(lvm)
Press I to enter interactive startup
Setting clock (utc) Mon Jun 4 00:12:59 EDT 2007
(udev)
I'm not clear on what is happening between lvm and udev in the Linux
startup sequence.
If someone could give me a hint about what to look for and where to look
for it I would appreciate the help.

liveinst failing on images made with livecd-creator
by Brian Varney
I'm having problems getting the liveinst to work with images that I create
with livecd-creator.
The problem only occurs when I make the livecd iso file. Here's the command
I'm using to create the iso.
"livecd-creator -c /usr/share/livecd-tools/livecd-fedora-8-desktop.ks"
liveinst works great until the very end when it says "performing
post-installation filesystem changes". This step never finishes. It stays
on this step forever and I've waited days. When I try to boot to the
installed image, I get a grub prompt but no menu options.
I've tried liveinst on the same system using a an iso file straight from
http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/torrents//Fedora-8-Live-i686.torrent and
liveinst completes with no issues.
Any ideas on how to get some more debug information out of liveinst to see
what is going wrong?
Thanks for any help,

Re: [Fedora-livecd-list] livecd-creator, revisor fail to build a CD
by Simon Ritchie
I have the same problem, using Fedora core 8. While attempting to build
the minimal livecd, livecd-creator hangs. My Linux box freezes up. If
I can log in and get a command window (not always possible) the shutdown
command runs for a while but does not complete, so the only solution is
to disconnect the power.
Tonight I was luckier and I got some control, so I can post some
diagnostics.
This is a fairly new and clean installation of Fedora core 8 on a Compaq
Pentium III box. The only changes I have made is to install
livecd-creator and the necessary support stuff. The livecd-creator came
from livecd-tools-013-1.fc8.i386.rpm.
I am using a local repository - stored on a linux file server on my home
network and exported via NFS. (Not enough disk space on my build machine.)
I run the command as follows:
livecd-creator --config=livecd-fedora-minimal.ks
(The control file is shown below.)
It hangs after about half an hour. The console shows:

Remove locales that aren't well translated in GNOME, and their
corresponding fonts.
Also, remove ekiga, therefore removing opal/pwlib/SDL/etc.
