And as a result will be compressed during the build process (but obviously not well, as mpeg is already compressed as much as it can). The second part (using LIVE_ROOT instead of INSTALL_ROOT), will add the file to the cdrom filesysem, uncompressed. As such, the user could for instance easily see the file if they dropped the cdrom into a windows system (on the cdrom, under the top level folder 'momedia'). <div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jul 24, 2008 at 11:52 AM, Tim Wood <<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="mailto:tim.wood@datawranglers.com" target="_blank">tim.wood@datawranglers.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000"> If you're trying to build a program from a tar file and install it, then your best option is going to be to go the rpm route. If you just want to copy some files over to a livecd, you can do it during post nochroot. If you do a search on the list archives, you'll find details.
