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.

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,
