Custom LiveCD

[Diego A. Fons]

Hi,

I'm making my own LiveCD using Fedora's tools (livecd-creator) as 
explain in the Wiki [1].
My question is if it is possible to install software ready to run in the 
LiveCD. I mean, you boot the LiveCD and you are able to run the software 
without installing it.
The software is not a RPM, it's a software I've made.

Is it possible? and How can I add this software to the LiveCD image?

Best regards,
Diego A. Fons.

Add this inside your main .ks file:

%post
%include diegos_chroot_installation_script.sh
%end

%post --nochroot
%include diegos_nochroot_installation_script.sh
%end

You can even nest "%include" directives.

For more details, check kickstart's documentation (livecd-creator shares a lot of its implementation with kickstart).

Another suggestion is to make your own rpm package of your software and
create a local repo for it that gets used by the ks file. I do this for
a package I have in rawhide that won't get pushed to F10 or F11 for
a few weeks yet.
