I'm failing at my first attempt at creating (or recreating) a live CD
- I'm using Fedora 8 (because I don't find KDE in F9 usable yet)
- I have SELinux disabled.
Following the process described in the LiveCDHowTo, well, actually
the step:
livecd-creator --config=/usr/share/livecd-tools/livecd-fedora-minimal.ks
... snip ...
Following up on my own email... I am making progress, but not because
I changed anything... I now have success in creating a live CD, just by
running _exactly_ the same thing again. Now its basically working
(without changing a thing... Yeah, I have a hard time believing that
myself.)
Now that I can basically create a bootable media... I want to customize it.
But if I use the standard approach of always downloading the RPMs
across the net, it takes a long time, so therefore I'd like to have a local
repository to suck from. I haven't been able to find a 'good/working'
set if instructions to follow that a) creates a local repo, and b) changes
required to the kickstart file so it _successfully_ uses that local repo.
Surely there must be a definitive set of instructions/docs for this
_whole_ downloading/setup/building/customizing a liveCD process?
(I haven't found any 'complete' instructions yet.) Pointers anyone?
You could also use the --cachedir= setting in livecd-creator to keep the
cache from being deleted in between runs.
Yea, no complete instructions, but this comes close:

For a) grab the rpms and run createrepo examples at:
http://fedoranews.org/alex/tutorial/yum/
http://fedoranews.org/contributors/hal_canary/yum/
For b) edit the --config= file changing the repo= line
ie, from: repo --name=development \
--mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=rawhide&arch=$basearch
to:
repo --name=development --baseurl=file:///path/to/your/repo
Hope this helps,
Jerry
