livecd-creator kickstart files
by Kam Salisbury
Is there a repository of "known good" kickstarts for use with the
livecd-creator tool? The examples RPM is good but still does not really have
examples of different ways to build the livecd.
For example, I started with the Fedora 10 desktop file and jut keep
whittling away at it until I get what I want. Once I think its "finished",
should I just post the .ks file to this list?

ANACONDA fails
by El Kindi REZIG
Hello everybody,
I'm making a Fedora spin, I made the live ISO, it boots fine, but when trying to install it Anaconda fails in the disk formatting stage (it's unable to mount /mnt/sysimage I guess?), here is the error message:
An error occurred trying to format sda.
This problem is serious and the install cannot continue.
By the way, I'm using initng and not sysvinit, when I try to boot from sysvinit the installation works fine, but when trying initng it fails.
Cheers

How to create live dvd? (livecd-creator fail)
by Valent Turkovic
Hi, first and foremost Happy New Year!
I used to be able to create live DVD with Fedora 8 and 9 using
livecd-creator tool but now I can't do it anymore with Fedora 10.
I get an error that there isn't enough space to create image and
livecd-creator fails.
I used to do it without problem, so maybe the packages have grown or I
added more packages than there is space for them. I see that
/dev/loop0 is created and the size of that virtual partition is only
3GB:
/dev/loop0 3.0G 602M 2.4G 21%
/home/temp/imgcreate-KWfqq9/install_root
I guess that when space runs out in that partition livecd-creator
fails. Am I right?
When I trim down my kickstart files with less packages then it passes.
How I managed to make live DVD iso image of 935MB. I haven't tested
what is the maximum size I can make but it is now far from that -
arround 950-1000MB.
Livd DVD I make previously with Fedora 8 and 9 was around 1200MB. Has
livecd-creator changed the way it works?
If that my previous assumptions are false please correct me and I have
some follow up questions:
1. How are live DVD images supposted to be made (2GB iso size)? With
livecd-creator or with some other tools? Which?
2. Is there a way to define larger size for /dev/loop0 ? (I looked
into man page for livecd-creator and I see no such option)
Thank you very much in advance!

fedora live and the international year of astronomy.
by brian hurren
Because Fedora10 has such a strong astronomical theme and 2009 is the international year of astronomy. why don't we do a fedora-live disk with KDE and have '2009 international year of astronomy' written on the splash screen. the KDE version already has Kstars packed with it. how about including stelerium and Pyefem as well.
I am already designing a cd cover and for it.
I think it would go down really well with the astronomical societies.
