I've been creating livecds from livecds for quite some time now without problems. Currently I'm getting a message about insufficient free space:

Error creating Live CD : Unable to install: Could not run transaction.
That's ridiculous. There are more than 26GB free on the HDD where the build takes place and there're 8GB free memory on the machine. The command I'm using is
livecd-creator --config=/mnt/win/fedora-cache/ks-files/fedora-livecd-kde.ks --fslabel=Fedora16-`date +%F`-Custom-Build --title=Fedora-`date +%F` --product=Fedora-`date +%F` --tmpdir=/mnt/win/fedora-cache/tmp/ --cache=/mnt/win/fedora-cache/cache/ --verbos
and as I said it's been working for quite some time now. The last livecd I built was on Dec 12 and everything was fine. Can someone help me fix this? How to point to the free memory?

The live image is built on a loop mounted image of a specific size. When that fills up it fails. It doesn't matter if your hard drive has more space. You can use "part / --size " followed by a size in your ks file to override the value set in the base ks. The games spin uses 10240 and fills up a dvd. (The file system gets shrunk and then compressed during the build process so it's OK to have it somewhat bigger than you really need.)

Thanks, that did the trick.
