1) This version of livecd-tools hasn't even been packaged for rawhide

2) The patches I posted are just enough to make the imgcreate python
module usable on RHEL5, so there may well be further work required
I had to patch livecd-creator and image-creator is the latest version of
livecd-creator. It runs but results in an error. Not sure what it is
all about
Here is what I did. On a RHEL 5.1 system
# rpm -ivh
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-2.noarch...
# yum install git-core squashfs-tools pykickstart
# git clone
git://git.fedorahosted.org/livecd
# cd livecd
got the patches from
http://markmc.fedorapeople.org/rhel5-livecd-creator/
# git apply -v imgcreate-*
I had to patch two files for the try finally construct. The patches are
http://sundaram.fedorapeople.org/livecd-creator-try-finally.patch
http://sundaram.fedorapeople.org/image-creator-try-finally.patch
(These patches are pretty simple but I am very much a python newbie and
might be incorrect but it gets the tools to run)
I tried to create a live cd

Any idea what's wrong?
