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.

Kickstart ignored?
by Gary Thomas
Running a system built with anaconda-11.4.0.40 (and friends), the
kickstart commands seem to be ignored when run from liveinst.
# liveinst --text ks=/tmp/ks.cfg
or
# liveinst --text ksdev=eth0 ks=nfs:192.168.1.101:/tmp/ks.cfg
Am I doing something wrong?
I really want to get this working so I can do [scripted] installs
from a livecd image.
Thanks

livecd-creator in fc7 can't access /etc/hosts and /etc/sysconfig/network
by jie sun
Hi,
when I put cp /etc/hosts /etc/hosts.me in %post section in my ks file and run livecd-creator --config=my ks, I always got error message saying cannot stat /etc/hosts: no such file or directory. The same for /etc/sysconfig/network file.
It seems livecd-creator in fc7 can not access both /etc/hosts and /etc/sysconfig/network file.
In fc8, I had no such problem.
Any idea why livecd-creator in fc7 can not access /etc/hosts file?
Regards,
Jie

liveinst won't run
by Miroslav Tomic
Dear list members,
I'm using livecd-creator for the first time, and for a
test, I've used livecd-fedora-8-desktop.ks. The only
thing I've changed in the kickstart file is setting
the local repo and setting the different language (and
not the keyboard) in livecd-fedora-8-base-desktop.ks.
Everything went just fine during build. I've burnt the
LiveCD.iso that I've got, tested the media and let the
system boot. The first thing I've noticed are some
misspelled characters during boot, which are language
specific, but it's something that doesn't bother me at
all. After the system has booted, I've noticed that
there was no icon on the desktop that should let me
install the distro. So I've ran /usr/bin/liveinst but
it failed to install. The output is attached and I
have no idea what could be wrong. The way I see it, it
has something to do with indexes, as far as regarding
the last line, stating "Index error: list index out of
range"... Have looked at scripts and lines mentioned
in the error output, but have not noticed anything
anusual... but then again, I'm not that good at
python...
One more thing: I've built two Live CD's - one of them
has used only packages from Everything repo (which
should be the packages Fedora's LiveCD i686 is build
upon) and another one was using both Everything and
Updates repo's packages (so it had updated packages) -
but the result was the same, giving me the same
error...
Any ideas where to look?
Thank you in advance!
Regards.

RFC: Remove explicit initrd creation from livecd creation
by Jeremy Katz
I've made the first step[1] towards actually getting the initrd for
livecds to be created as part of the "normal" mkinitrd that gets run
when the kernel is installed in rawhide. This, though, means that
running mayflower from livecd-creator is fairly overkill and even likely
to cause problems as the two are unlikely to be kept in sync.
Therefore, I'd like to propose removing mayflower and the calls to use
it from the livecd build process. This, though, would mean that
pre-Fedora 9 images would need a little bit of config work to continue
building them with git livecd-tools. Basically, for those configs, we'd
likely end up just wanting to pull livecd-tools into their manifest and
then have the %post of the config run mayflower. I'll fix up the F8
configs when doing so, but will probably drop the < F8 configs from the
package.
Anyone see any real problems with this?
Jeremy
[1] At this point, it's pretty crude but it at least moves us in the
right direction and gets us to stop thinking "oh we can just change
livecd-tools and change the boot"

Corrupted RPMs
by Tim Wood
The LiveCDs I've been trying to create today are all failing. In each
case I'm getting what looks like corrupted rpms from official repositories.
I've forced it to use three different repositories with similar
results All of the RPMs in question are either release or update
fedora 8 rpms. The only solutions I can think of vis-a-vis the RPMs is
to some variant of rebuilding, trying all the mirrors or
waaaaiiiitttting. Any other suggestions?
