problem using revisor in F12

["Germán A. Racca"]

Hello list,

I want to use revisor (in GUI mode) to create an optical live media of
F12, but before I've created a kickstart file using
system-config-kickstart to pass to revisor. Then, I run revisor using a
config file I've created including the F12-i386 repository. It preforms
several tasks from the list it displays

Resolve Dependencies - Done
Populating Statistics - Done
Downloading Packages - Done
Creating ext3 Filesystem - Done
Installing packages - Done
Configure System - Running...

and then it stays there indefinitely...looking at the console, it shows
the message available at the end of this mail.

This is the first time I use revisor and the kickstart creator.

Can anybody help me?

Regards,
Germán.

Have you tried with the .ks files in /usr/share/spin-kickstarts ?

Yes, I've tried revisor using the various kickstart files
under /usr/share/spin-kickstarts, but they don't work also. Here is the
console output:

You'll have to remove "--service=mdns" from the firewall line
in fedora-live-base.ks

Also I had to disable the anaconda-updates repository in
/etc/revisor/conf.d/revisor-f12-i386.conf to get revisor
to run.

OK, I did it, but I got a similar error as before:

Hm, it works for me.

Does this work:

cd /usr/share/spin-kickstarts
revisor --cli --yes --model=f12-i386 --live-optical 
--kickstart=fedora-livecd-desktop.ks

OK, I ran revisor --cli --yes --model=f12-i386 --live-optical
--kickstart=fedora-livecd-lxde.ks and it worked...but why it didn't work
with my own kickstart file? Maybe the gui mode of revisor is the
problem...I'll try again with my ks file in cli mode.

Thanks Mogens for replying all my messages!

Cheers,
Germán.
