That explains why the newer livecd-tools didn't work. However, why
didn't it work in F10? I.e., why can't I create a CentOS5 Live CD in
Fedora 10?
If I'm wrong someone should correct me, the livecd build process is
using the mkinitrd from CentOS, mkinitrd is being run in a chroot
environment, in the target image.
