Error 15
by Timothy Murphy
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.
What exactly does this mean?

[BACKPORT] Use our syslinux's menu com32 modules (#492370)
com32 modules in syslinux don't seem to have a consistent API, so
let's workaround it by copying in the menu files from our syslinux
when doing livecd-iso-to-disk. This is kind of kludgey, really :/

should a livecd be ext3 or ext4
by Williamson Grant
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
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.

Reconstructor
by Bryan Kearney
I am sure folks have seen this:
http://reconstructor.aperantis.com
What I thouhgt was interesting (besides making a pretty ui) was starting
with an existing livecd iso. May speed up the process a bit in some
places... dont know.

PPC LiveCD Help
by Thomas J. Baker
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.
Thanks,
tjb

boot livecd iso?
by don fong
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.

proxy settings for livecd-creator
by Pak, Mesut
Hi all,
I have seen some posts regarding to this but no definitive answer.
Could some one tell me if there is a way to set livecd-creator to use particular http proxy server and provide user authentication details?
My yum.conf is alredy set up to use http proxy server.
