[Fedora-livecd-list] missing command mksquash and others from root PATH?

[Luke -]

It took me a while to figure this out, so I'll post it in case anyone else
has the same problems.

My builds were failing with errors saying "mksquash" and "chkconfig"
not
found (this was with livecd-tools-001-2, with 001-3 it didn't say this but
failed anyway).  Also, "pwconv" was failing.  The following worked for me:
once root type

PATH=$PATH:/sbin:/usr/sbin
export PATH

Using livecd-tools-001-3 and the provided configuration RPMs (6.91-2), I got
a working livecd.  Though there were still some error messages (see below),
and I could not mount either a USB drive or a CD with the livecd.  I don't
know if this was because I'm still missing some further commands.  The mount
error pop-up said

"Cannot mount volume
Error org.freedesktop.Hal.PermissionDenied
Details
  Permission denied: Not in active session"

The build errors were:
