F7 general question about livecd-creator and timezones
by Skunk Worx 01 May '09

01 May '09

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. --- John

Howto wiki page and selinux
by Valent Turkovic 28 Mar '08

28 Mar '08

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.

Fedora Core 4 Live USB creation
by Syed Mujtaba Ahmed Razvi 27 Mar '08

27 Mar '08

Hello! I have successfully finished working on one of Fedora core 4 kernel module. It is working fine on my internal hard disk. Now i need to replace my internal Hard disk with any usb flash using the concept of live usb/live cd. So, i want to create a live image of the current fedora core 4 running on my internal hard disk. Is there a possibility to create live usb just as we can did in fedora 8 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD/USBHowTo ?

keep rpm/yum cache between builds?
by Valent Turkovic 27 Mar '08

27 Mar '08

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. -- http://kernelreloaded.blog385.com/ linux, blog, anime, spirituality, windsurf, wireless registered as user #367004 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org.

Console fonts
by Richard W.M. Jones 25 Mar '08

25 Mar '08

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?
