At last week's meeting I volunteered to create a simple wiki page to help anyone build one of the official spins and also build some of the spins for testing.
Thanks. ;)
I ran into several problems doing this last week. Some were self-inflicted (running out of disk space in the root partition), but others were more mysterious. Like kicking off the livecd-creator, watching it download all the needed packages and start to yum install them, only to watch it hang on several occasions after installing 400 or 500 packages.
- Is building live CDs on Fedora 10 for Fedora 11 a bad idea?
I think it is. At least I think you need the livecd-creator from f11. Possibly other things. ;( I do all my test composes on rawhide machines.
Fedora 10 has SquashFS 3, whereas Fedora 11 has SquashFS 4. This is incompatible. Fedora 10 might create an ISO with a SquashFS 3 filesystem image on it, but the kernel on the ISO will attempt to mount it as SquashFS 4 and fail.
