LiveCD List,
This may be a silly or repeated question but I’ve been
unable to find any useful information when searching.
We’ve just started trying to use the livecd-creator
tool rather than custom building a bootable cd as we have in the past. I’m
the lucky one that gets to make it all work. So far things have gone mostly
well and I was able to setup the custom configuration file and build the RPM
package. The first run of livecd-creator goes without error and creates an ISO.
However when I got to add another package to the ISO using the “--base-on”
flag, livecd-creator attempts to install the kernel again, except it picks an
older version and causes an error. Output is included below. And I’m
happy to provide other documentation if it were useful. I should mention that I’m
using FC 6 with livecd-tools-001-1.
Our end goal here is to have a baseline ISO, that we can
then apply a per-device “configuration” package to as needed,
keeping the base ISO always the same.
I’m open to any help or suggestions from anyone in the
community.
Thanks in advance.
-Eli
