- How do I get slim to start up in the LiveCD boot. I have been
using the fedora-livecd-lxde.ks as a template. Before Fedora 17, I used to put the following in my kickstart file:
# create /etc/sysconfig/desktop (needed for installation) cat > /etc/sysconfig/desktop <<EOF PREFERRED=/usr/bin/pekwm DISPLAYMANAGER=/usr/sbin/slim-dynwm EOF
I noticed that slim has moved from sbin/ to bin/ so I made the change, but I can not get this to start up when booting from a LiveCD. How do I get this to start up? I tried including systemctl enable slim but I still can not get it to display the Login Manager. (I do get the text prompt.) How do I fix this?
Yes, systemd has taken over and you set the display manager by enabling it. So your systemctl enable slim.service should do it assuming there is a systemd target file for slim.
But where do I put this in the .ks file? I am able to get slim to startup after installing from the LiveCD (which makes me assume that there is a systemd target file), but not while booting off the LiveCD.
I am attaching my current .ks file.
- I have a few rpms of my own i would like to include in the
LiveCD. How can this be done? Are there examples somewhere that I could look at?
That's easy. Just take your rpms and put them in a web accessible directory, cd to that directory and run "createrepo .". Of course you need to have createrepo installed for that to work. Then just add a reference for your new repo in your kickstart file just like your other repos... and then add your packages to your package list. If you don't have a webserver handy you can do it on the same system with a file:// reference I think.
Thanks, I will try this. I tried the following
repo --name=MyRepo --baseurl=file://home/maitra/rpmbuild/RPMS
But livecd-creator complained and refused to proceed so for now, and till I resolve 1., I have commented this out.
Thanks again for your suggestions!
Best wishes, Ranjan
