RE: [Fedora-livecd-list] LiveCD on Compact flash

[Junevicus, Lucius R CTR NAVFAC SE]

I'd love to get a copy of your linuxrc script.

So to do this I'd move the Squashfs image to the flash drive.

How would I setup grub so it would know how to get to it?

Thanks again for the help, any other resources on how best to do this
would be great.

One problem I have is that if I get error messages during the boot
process, I cant scroll up to see what started it.

Is there a way of pausing the messages --maybee a sleep command?

Thanks again,
Lucius.

I think the easier method is not to actually move the image to the flash
card but to move the SquashFS image and build a specialized initrd. I
have done this with USB flash sticks already and I can provide you with
the linuxrc script I use if you wish.

What we do is mount the Squash image via loopback, and simply go on to
pivot_root.
We don't use find-live-cd. Furthermore the rc scripts are slightly
reworked. I did this creating my own SquashFS image by hand however, not
using Kadischi. It can be done in the same method as Kadischi however.

What I'd like to see is a Kadischi-USB fork to support installing to USB
Flash devices.
