Hi Scott, Bruno,
Thanks for all the tips/help!
I found what was causing this problem (for me). Apparently, I ran the build script I use for the webtutorials and example programs as root and that created a .rpmmacros file in /root. When I removed that file, the uname issue and the "can't create file in ... INSTALL .. rpm-tmp.nnnn" message also went away and I can create liveCD's again.
I apologize for taking up everyone's time with this, but I appreciate the tips which pointed me down the path to find the .rpmmacros mistake I made.
Thanks again, Jim G.

The size of the image is also relavent. The file system that packages are being installed to is a fixed size based on what your kickstart file (or one it inlcudes) says. If that space is used up things won't work (though I don't remember the exact symptoms) even if there is space on the outer file system.
I definitely concur with Bruno as for my remix I install about 1,700 packages and had to increase the disk size for the image in the .ks file to 8GB... as seen below:
part / --size 8192 --fstype ext4
I've had to gradually increase it over time as I've added packages... and I've actually run out of room a few times during the build. I believe in the error messages it actually says the filesystem is full but I don't really remember.
TYL,
