Creating i386 LiveCD on x86_64 Fedora

[Gain Paolo Mureddu]

Hello, I'm terribly sorry if this has already been asked, and thus 
answered. I'm trying to generate an i686 LiveCD image on an x86_64 
Fedora, how can I force the packages to be fetched and "installed" be 
those for i686, or do I need to be running an i686 Fedora?

Thanks in advance.

call 'setarch i686 livecd-creator ...'

Thank you very much. I had generated other images in a 32-bit install, 
and when I tried to replicate that in my main system (x86_64) I got an 
x86_64 image, where I was expecting an i386. Thanks again.

That's interesting because I've been generating what are apparently 32 
bit images on my x86-64 system just by selecting the i386 repo in the 
kickstart script:

repo --name=released 
--baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Everything/i386/os/

That seems to work fine and indeed the ISOs I've made have been booting 
fine on a 32 bit machine.

Am I doing something wrong?

Rich.

I don't believe so.  The default repo has an alias for basearch so that
you don't have to change it to compose for a different arch.  Thus
setarch.
