Is it possible to configure the firewall in %post?
by Aaron Cohen
I'm trying to configure a firewall for my livecd. Currently, I'm
calling lokkit in %post, though I've also tried using iptables and
iptables-save. Unfortunately, no matter what I try, my configuration
seems to be discarded.
As far as I can tell, "lokkit" is run after the post scripts, to
enable or disable selinux. This seems to recreate
/etc/sysconfig/iptables and move my changes to
/etc/sysconfig/iptables.old.
My understanding is that "lokkit --selinux=enforcing" is not supposed
to do anything other than enable selinux, but it definitely seems to
also discard firewall configuration in my testing.
Is this intended?
Thanks,
Aaron

Rawhide: Live Desktop Build fails
by Amit Saha
Hello all:
I am trying to build a custom distro by using Fedora desktop as a
"base" from the "rawhide" repository: (I am on Fedora 15)
<code>
sudo livecd-creator --config=fedora-live-desktop.ks
--fslabel=Fedora-Desktop --cache=/mnt/data/Fedora-Scientific/cache/
</code>
This fails with:
Error creating Live CD : Failed to build transaction :
gjs-1.29.0-1.fc16.i686 requires gecko-libs(x86-32) = 2.0.1
totem-pl-parser-2.32.5-1.fc16.i686 requires libquvi.so.0
totem-pl-parser-2.32.5-1.fc16.i686 requires libquvi.so.0(VER_0.1.0)
Has anyone observed this? I am using the kickstart files from the git repo.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Amit

-----Inline Attachment Follows-----
It could mean several things; i.e, maybe you don't have enough ram for the installation? F15 needed more than 512 MB of ram, I encountered this issue several times when I wanted to install F15 xfce into a laptop with 512 MB and I could not :(
There are other possibilities, but this is the main one I have encountered.

Preconfigured liveCD
by Chris Robson
All
I would like to create a LiveCD with preconfigured files. For example,
ifcfg-eth0 set to specific values, custom services file (aka
/etc/init.d/myservice), custom
/etc/sysconfig/network/vncservers/iptables files. Is there examples of
how to do that or some docs on how? All I see on the LiveCD webpage is
how to build a LiveCD using the LiveCD tools.
Thanks

/etc/mtab symlink to /proc/self/mounts
by gregory.fowler＠oracle.com
Hi
I use el6 based Live CDs and I think this last commit is causing the
liveinst anaconda scripts some headaches. After pulling version 16.3
of the tools from the git repo and updating my Build Host, I started
having problems doing install to HD from LiveCD.
Basically, anaconda included in el6 and el6u1 assumes that /etc/mtab is
a regular file with rw attributes.
When the installer tries to open the file for writing and populate it,
we are getting a traceback because /etc/mtab is symlinked to
/proc/self/mounts and that file is not writable.
If it is necessary to symlink /etc/mtab to proc/self/mounts in the
livecd creator tool, would it be possible to implement a fix for
anaconda scripts that do not like seeing /etc/mtab as a link to a read
only /proc file?

and create a regular file before trying to write data.
I have had to add this patch to my el6 finish scripts as a workaround.

feature idea: boot option to copy entire livecd into RAM
by Eric Smith
I'm using a Fedora 14 live CD at the moment to make an image copy of one
hard disk to another. It's working fine, but every minute or two the
optical drive spins up for no apparent reason. I'm not sure what's doing
that, but it occurs to me that it might be possible to kill two birds with
one stone here, the other bird being that interactive use of the live CD is
painfully slow due to the relatively poor performance of the optical drive.
How difficult would it be to have livecd-creator build the image such that
there is a boot option to copy the entire livecd into a ramdisk, and unmount
the optical drive? Since most new laptops have at least 3GB of RAM, this
seems like it might be useful to a lot of users. It also would allow the
optical drive to be used for other purposes while running the live image.
I suppose someone might ask why I am not using a live image on a USB flash
drive rather than the optical drive. That's because the Sony VAIO I'm using
seems to have BIOS issues that prevent successfully booting from a USB flash
drive. :-(

extlinux doesn't support ext4 or btrfs on F13 (#709778)
F13 is using extlinux 3.84 which does not support ext3 or btrfs. Remove
support for these and setup the USB as ext3 instead.
