However, for the full capability of network or USB Flash Drive for the location of the image, the Fedora 21 is needed. Optionally, I have an updates.img available for anaconda-20.25.16-1 here: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://czarc.org/fedora/updates/">http://czarc.org/fedora/updates/</a> As described here: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Kickstart#liveimg">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Kickstart#liveimg</a> <blockquote type="cite"> <code>liveimg --url=<url> [--proxy=<proxyurl>] [--checksum=<sha256>] [--noverifyssl]</code> <dl> <dd> Install a disk image instead of packages. The image can be the squashfs.img from a Live iso, or any filesystem mountable by the install media (eg. ext4). Anaconda expects the image to contain utilities it needs to complete the system install so the best way to create one is to use livemedia-creator to make the disk image. If the image contains /LiveOS/*.img (this is how squashfs.img is structured) the first *img file inside LiveOS will be mounted and used to install the target system. As of Anaconda 21.29 the URL may point to a tarfile of the root filesystem. The file must end in .tar, .tbz, .tgz, .txz, .tar.bz2, tar.gz, tar.xz </dd> </dl> </blockquote> You can also kickstart install with liveimg pointing to a tarball as or anaconda-21.29 ... well, sort-of. It basically works but there are a couple of problems. 1. The initramfs file for the rescue kernel is not created when doing a tarball install. The problem along with a patch to fix it has been bz'ed: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1170589">https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1170589</a> and the patch has also been submitted to anaconda-patches. Since it is unlikely that this update will make it into Fedora 21, I have created an updates.img for anaconda-21.48.21-1 which is available here: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://czarc.org/fedora/updates/">http://czarc.org/fedora/updates/</a> (the README.txt is the output of git-log showing what updates are applied). 2. Using the updates.img, you do a kickstart liveimg install of a tarball. Everything is good ... sorry, no. I am not sure if this is a bug but installation using a tarball needs a full-system SELinux relabel. Fortunately, this is easy to handle by adding the following to your kickstart file: <blockquote type="cite"><big><tt>%post</tt><tt> </tt><tt>/usr/bin/touch /.autorelabel</tt><tt> </tt><tt>%end</tt></big></blockquote> Enjoy, Gene </body> </html>
