Re: [Fedora-livecd-list] Building LiveCDs for Fedora from CentOS

We have our development servers here where I work that are running
CentOS 5.2 64-bit on them. One of our projects has a LiveCD that we
build and provide. It is currently built on a Fedora 8 PC that I have
but we'd like to move to Fedora 11 or 12.
What I'd like to do is put the Fedora 11 RPMs on our server, run
createrepo to create a repository, and use livecd-creator on that server
to build the Fedora 11 LiveCD. Is this approach possible? Are there
any "gotchas" I need to be aware of if it is possible? The LiveCD is a
32-bit implementation BTW.
You will run into a SquashFS major version bump incompatible between
Fedora on the live media and CentOS on the server. You should use a
Fedora release greater then or equal to Fedora 11 on the build host,
even though you can still host the repositories used on the EL-5 server.
