local hard disk space?
by Coco Computers & Consulting 23 Jul '08

23 Jul '08

When I boot with Centos 5.1 Live CD, a df command shows the root filesystem / is mounted to /dev/mapper/livecd-rw and shows a total of about 4GB with 50% available. Is this disk space from my local hard drive? How is it carved out? My local hard drive is installed with a Windows XP system. Does LiveCD simply create a 4GB file on the local hard drive for its own use? --thanks, --Tony C. Coco Computers & Consulting http://coconets.homeip.net

custom spin: %post section not being executed
by DON.RAIKES＠ORACLE.COM 21 Jul '08

21 Jul '08

Hello, I am working on a custom spin of fedora 9. so far I can get the basic cd created. I have added several sections to my %post section of my custom kickstart file. For example: %post cat > /home/fedora/.exrc << EOF set ai ic ts=2 tw=80 EOF %end When the cd is created the /home/fedora/.exrc file does not exist. Do the scripts in my %post section preceed or follow those in the fedora-live-base.ks assuming that I have %include fedora-live-base.ks at the top of my kickstart file? Also, how can I add the fedora user to the sudoers list so it has sudo privilleges?

After I format and reinitialize my Live USB, do I have to let it run through all of the updates and reinstall my applications? Do we have the tools to pull all of that data off and restore it?
