Hi Jeremy,

I just installed fedora 9 over the weekend (and again this morning had some 
issues with it).

I am hoping hte issues I ran into yesterday were causing hte problems. I 
suspected the burning process originally since when I tried ot burn a dvd on my 
dvdrw drive wodim said it couldn't handle it at all.

I'll try the base kickstart again tonight or tomorrow and see what happens now.

Errors there tend to indicate either
1) Burn problems
2) Problems in the created initrd.  The latter could be that you're
using a distro which doesn't have the right mkinitrd bits or some other
mismatch.  It's hard to say without knowing what the actual errors are

Re: [Fedora-livecd-list] [PATCH] added get_partitions to kickstart.py

[Jeremy Katz]

So, generally looking okay from the look I did.  Two big little things
left that I see

1) Commit messages should be more than one-liners.
http://www.tpope.net/node/106 actually has a really nice description of
what makes a good commit message
2) Instead of funky formatting of comments, just use the standard pydoc
""" -- it'll also mean that we can extract api information and use
help() if you're using the python interpreter on the command-line

Nope, the answer is to have a repository.  file:/// repos are perfectly
fine to use, so it's just a matter of running createrepo and then
pointing to the repo on disk

[Fedora-livecd-list] livecd-iso-to-pxeboot: append line query

[Michael Prisant]

I sent the following query to Richard Jones author of the fedora
livecd-iso-to-pxeboot regarding setup for pxeboot of live Fedora Live CD
images and hoping someone on this list might advise on this question:

...
I am trying to use your script as part of a project to setup diskless
compute clients from a Fedora 9 server.

I have already setup tftp, dhcp etc on this server and it is working for
unattended kickstart installs and loading diagnostic programs to my clients
on a private network.

To begin I just wanted to see if I could pxeboot the live CD image.  So I
added the following stanza to my  pxelinux.cfg/default  file

label live
  kernel fedora-releases-9-i386/vmlinuz0
  append initrd=fedora-releases-9-i386/initrd0.img
root=/Fedora-9-i686-Live.iso rootfstype=iso9660 rootflags=loop

where I moved the vmlinuz.0 and intrd0.img files created by
livecd-iso-to-pxeboot into the appropriate tftp server directories.  My
client first loads the initrd0.img. The client next begins to boot until it
gets to the point where it needs to process the root directive.  It then
gives me an error message listing the ram disk block partitions. I have
experimented with various directives to the "root=?" field.  Even after
reading your maillist thread with Jeremy Katz and others I am confused as to
how to set this up.

Sorry to be so clueless on this but I am not at all clear in this case what
the "root=" is trying to point to or how I should set it up -- Can you
advise?
...

He responded by properly advising me to:

You'll almost certainly be wanting to send this question over to the
fedora-livecd-list:

http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-livecd-list

Rich.

Add firstaidkit to livecd

This change will pull in all the current plugins currently in devel, the
gui, backend and all the related documentation.  It will not bring in the
devel package that is used to actually make plugins.
