Error 15
by Timothy Murphy 29 May '09

29 May '09

When I put the Fedora-10 KDE Live CD on a USB stick with livecd-iso-to-disk (which seems to go perfectly) and re-boot with the stick, I just get "Error 15" on the screen.

should a livecd be ext3 or ext4
by Williamson Grant 20 May '09

20 May '09

Should a livecd be created ext3 or ext4. The reason I ask, is we tend offer the livecd's also as usb sticks, when I last tried the usb stick does not boot if the filesystem is ext4. Comments anyone?

livecd not building
by Williamson Grant 20 May '09

20 May '09

Did something change in rawhide in the last few days, I cannot build livecd. Sounds like something is corrupted, all packages in repo, check out fine. Is there anyway I can increase debug so I can see what is failing. After downloading my packages, always fails with. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/livecd-creator", line 140, in <module> sys.exit(main()) File "/usr/bin/livecd-creator", line 123, in main creator.install() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/imgcreate/creator.py", line 661, in install ayum.runInstall() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/imgcreate/yuminst.py", line 181, in runInstall self.populateTs(keepold=0) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/depsolve.py", line 239, in populateTs hdr = txmbr.po.returnHeaderFromPackage() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/packages.py", line 633, in returnHeaderFromPackage hdr = rpmUtils.miscutils.hdrFromPackage(ts, rpmfile) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/rpmUtils/miscutils.py", line 409, in hdrFromPackage raise rpmUtils.RpmUtilsError, "RPM Error opening Package" rpmUtils.RpmUtilsError: RPM Error opening Package

PPC LiveCD Help
by Thomas J. Baker 19 May '09

19 May '09

I'm trying to make a live cd for a PPC machine and I want it as small as possible. I've made similar i386 images but I'm running into a problem where the ppc livecd can't be created unless the anaconda-runtime package is included ("Error creating Live CD : Unable to find boot file mapping"). The problem is that anaconda-runtime has so many dependencies that it doubles the size of the image. Any ideas or workarounds? I'm using the latest livecd-tools on Fedora 9 and at the moment, I need to stay at Fedora 9.

boot livecd iso?
by don fong 16 May '09

16 May '09

question: how can i boot the livecd distro from a hard disk partition, hopefully with the persistent option? i have found a lot of pages describing how to do this with a USB stick, but i have not been able to find clear instructions on how to do the equivalent thing with a regular disk partition. i have the fedora livecd iso image file on my disk. i can mount it under linux. is there a way to boot the iso file directly, without wasting a CD? or to make another disk partition boot the livecd distro? thanks in advance for any help.
