'Overlay' in terms of Live CD
Can someone please give me a quick definition of 'overlay' in terms of a live-CD? I find lots of mentions by googling, but nothing that helps me get to grips with it. I need to know whether I should set a large overlay if I build from a KDE 4.0 Live CD with the intention of updating to KDE 4.1. Thanks Anne signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

Everything that you do as an update is stored in this overlay and more you do updates and the larger they are, the larger your overlay size should be.

Are you able to give me any 'educated guess' as to the size I'll need? I tried creating the disk with 1024GB, but since I seem to have got it wrong somewhere (separate thread) I'll be doing it afresh.
