Some of our spins fit on half a DVD, but not half a CD. If some spins have separate media for each arch, and others do not, then that may work confusing. That said though, I don't think we've had this kinda thing discussed or decided upon... so it's a good point ;-) I think it's safe to assume that attempting to fit any 'real' biarch spin on CD would be a futile exercise. DVD shouldn't be an issue for the non-Games live spins yet, should it? A biarch rescue image would be useful. For some kinds of recoveries you need to use a rescue image matching the arch of the system you are trying to fix. I got bit by this during the F11 devel cycle. -- Fedora-livecd-list mailing list Fedora-livecd-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-livecd-list
[Fedora-livecd-list] [PATCH] don't need to checkMBR() for loop devices
livecd-iso-to-disk.sh doesn't do the right thing w.r.t. loop devices
and MBR detection. I don't think this is intentional, but it
currently requires loop devices to start with an MBR, by virtue of
getdisk() being a NOOP for loop devices and checkMBR assuming that the
disk must need an MBR. checkMBR() should just ignore loop devices
like other key functions do.
