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.

Howto wiki page and selinux
by Valent Turkovic
Hi,
I saw howto page [1] and noticed that there is no mention of selinux
there. If you have selinux disabled you can't even start
livecd-creator and if you don't reload selinux policy after creating
of respin then you have lots of selinux alerts.
I got this tip from selinux mailing list:
If you have your selinux put in Enforcing mode then do this:
# setenforce 0
# livecd-creator ...
# load_policy
# setenforce 1
if you have your selinux in Permissive mode than yust this:
# livecd-creator ...
# load_policy
I have 0 time because of moving to a new apartment so please if
anybody can edit howto page.
Cheers,
Valent.

keep rpm/yum cache between builds?
by Valent Turkovic
Hi,
is it possible to keep rpm/yum cache between builds. This is very
useful when somebody is building multiple spins that are marginally
different (language, few packages that are installed/removed) and not
to download all the packages if they haven't changed.
Does this make sense to you?
Cheers,
Valent.

Console fonts
by Richard W.M. Jones
I'm trying to enable a broad range of languages in virt-p2v, and to do
that, understand how to enable a broad Unicode console font. I notice
that Anaconda does this already, but I'm having a bit of trouble
understanding exactly how.
Anyway, first of all I discovered that if one adds the 'kbd' package
to the live CD, then you get a UTF-8 console (/bin/unicode_start runs
early on) and the default font is 'latarcyrheb-sun16'. The font, as
the name may suggest, supports Latin-1, Arabic(?), Cyrillic and Hebrew
characters.
Example tests (shows error message in exotic characters):
LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 ls /nothere
LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8 ls /nothere
But note that these fail (square blocks displayed instead of
characters):
LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8 ls /nothere
LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 ls /nothere
This doesn't give me any Asian language support, and I couldn't see a
console font which does. Note I'd like to display all languages at
the same time, because the first screen lets the user pick their
language.
Anaconda seems to do some trickery where it saves something (a
character map??) by issuing a KD_FONT_OP_GET ioctl, and then restores
this when the CD boots. I'm not sure when the saving occurs, or the
relationship between these rather small maps (about 5K each) and the
presumably much larger fonts that are required to support them.
So can anyone help?
Rich.
