Resolved - Password for fedora livecd
by prakash srinivasan
Hello all,
I resolved the root password problem & I followed the below steps in my case.. Hope it may useful for someone in future.
* Add/remove the packages & created a custom fedora-9 livecd iso image.
* Mount the iso, squashfs & ext3fs images.
* Edit the file "etc/shadow"
* Go to the first line. Remove the "*" in between the first and second colon (or) remove all the words in between the first & second colon. After edited, the first line should be like this, "root::14289:0:99999:7:::".
* Save it.
* Umount the images and recreate the ext3fs,squashfs & mydistro.iso
* After you booted with mydistro.iso, you can now access all the system related tools/applications without asking root password.
Regards,
Prakash.

Low overlay/home dir space
by Williamson Grant
Has anyone found a workaround for low disk space on the livecd. I know
you can repair the luks home directory but I want to try and prevent
this.
Has anyone looked in to gnome-volume-manager or quota(or something
else) to prevent the root and/or home dir from becoming full?

Password for fedora livecd
by prakash srinivasan
Hello all,
I added/removed some packages & created a fedora customized livecd using by the livecd-fedora-9-desktop.ks and livecd-fedora-9-base.ks files.
When I am trying to access the system settings or any superuser's applications, its asking root password. I did not set any root password in the .ks file and I tried "root","", "fedora" & "toor" also. But no use. Somebody already posted the same query in this mailing list. But I did not find any proper reply for that query. Help me to disable the root password or how to reset the root password by editing my customized .iso.
Regards,
Prakash.

livecd, luks and retry
by Williamson Grant
Will a livecd use /etc/crypttab if the file exists?
Creating a 8gb liveusb with --home-size-mb 2048 --overlay-size-mb
2048, works fine. However I would like
to increase the number of passwords attempts allowed.
I seem to be having no luck increasing the default password retry from
3 on the encrypted home directory.
Formating using -T x or adding retry=x seem to leave the default at 3.
Anyone have any ideas.

Lots of squashfs errors with .29-0.218.rc7.git2.fc11
by Joshua C.
With the latest kernel 29-0.218.rc7.git2.fc11 I got lots of squashfs
errors. The livecd was made without any errors (just 2 kernel warnings
about .conf files). Before this I tried 0.207.rc7 and evreything was
fine. I used the same packages (with livecd-tools-022-1.fc11 instead
of 021-1) with the newest kernel and couldn't even properly boot. Most
of the errors are about squashfs not able to read cache block data.
Can someone verify this?

Liveinst with overlay + home dir
by Williamson Grant
Perhaps this has been added already upstream.
Are there any plans to add support so liveinst will migrate the
overlay and/or the home directory if they exist?
