Announcing - A new way to make live media with livemedia-creator
by Brian C. Lane
livemedia-creator is a new addition to the lorax project. Its goal is to
create live images using anaconda so that we have one place to maintain
the logic defining what an installed system should look like.
lorax-17.1 contains the first release which should be working well
enough for people to experiment with. See the README.livemedia-creator
for details and examples. The current version can be used to create
bootable disk images or to convert those images into a bootable .iso
Development disussion will be on the anaconda-devel-list, and bugs can
be filed against lorax. I'll either take them or you can assign them to
bcl(a)redhat.com

Is livecd-creator broken?
by Valent Turkovic
I tried last version of livecd-creator currently in Fedora 16, and
then updated to latest version from testing-updates repo, but still I
get ISO image that is broken...
Did anybody get working iso image from Fedora 16 or Fedora 17
kickstart files using livecd-creator ?
if you did please share how you managed to get a working iso image.
Cheers,
Valent.

Re: [Fedora-livecd-list] is liveusb-creator working for you?
by Valent Turkovic
I'm not talking about using liveusb-creator but the issue is that you
use fedora .ks files and try to make iso image yourseld with
livecd-creator, every time I tried I get ISO file that doesn't boot
!!!
This should be a critical bug and stopper for Fedora, right?

is liveusb-creator working for you?
by Valent Turkovic
Hi,
I created Fedora 16 respin (with latest packages from updates repo)
and custom remix iso images but when I transfer iso image to usb with
liveusb-creator or via dd command I just get black screen on boot, not
even grub menu comes up :(
Are others seeing this also or is everything working out for you?
I tried both 32 and 64 bit versions, and it is the same on both.
Cheers,
Valent.

Fedora livecd-creator broken ?
by Valent Turkovic
Just tried respinning fedora-livecd-desktop.ks and
fedora-live-desktop.ks on my Fedora 16 machine and they failed both :(
This is the command used to respin iso image:
livecd-creator -v -t /livecd/tmp/ --cache=/livecd/yum-cache/ -f
Fedora-16-64bit-2012-04 -c fedora-livecd-desktop.ks
and this is how it fails:

Can somebody confirm that it works for you or that it also fails? Is
this a known issue?
