Revisor and disk space
by Lars Bjørndal
Hello, list!
I would like to build a livecd on a system with too litle disk
space available. I therefor tried to mount /var/tmp as sshfs, but
then, I got the following error:
Architecture list: ['athlon', 'i686', 'i586', 'i486', 'i386', 'noarch']
Initting progress bar for Loading Repositories
Loading Repositories: Loading Repositories: 0.0% Getting configuration from /etc/revisor/conf.d/revisor-f8lrs-i386.conf
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - No such file or directory (2)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/tmp/revisor/var/lib/rpm
yum.YumBase.doConfigSetup failed, probably an invalid configuration file /etc/revisor/conf.d/revisor-f8lrs-i386.conf
[root@cd ~]#
Why?

fonts list
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi,
In the Fedora 9 Xfce ks file, I had to remove the following font
packages manually since they ended up being in the live cd even though I
had not selected any additional languages.
--------------
-lohit-fonts-*
-thaifonts-scalable
-paktype-fonts
-VLGothic-fonts
-baekmuk-ttf-fonts-*
-kacst-fonts
-lklug-fonts
-jomolhari-fonts

Check the available space on the stick (#443046)
To avoid corrupting filesystems, we need to check the available space
first. This may end up being off by a little bit, but it will be so by
overestimating the amount of space needed so should be fine

gpk-update applet on live cd
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi,
gpk-update applet runs on the live cd and checks for updates on the live
cd environment (atleast for the xfce spin) and I suspect it does on the
other live cd's as well. Should this be disabled? If so, what would be
the best way to do it?

Hi,
I'm trying to build a Fedora 8 Live CD using livecd-creator with a

We don't show the user list on the login screen anymore by default anyway,
and having two fedora logos on the panel looks somewhat odd
