Well, I wouldn't expect a truly minimal one to have X at all ;-) pygtk and metacity would concern me a little less, mostly due to the fact that if you're going to use firstboot at all, you have both and you'll be pretty hard-pressed to really do even another GUI environment with Fedora tools and not have pygtk. But for the non-interactive case, it should be pretty trivial to get the basic bits abstracted into just being in rhpxl and then a simple script could be used to create the config instead of pulling in all of system-config-display. All of the guts should be in rhpxl anyway > 2) When the monitor isn't recognized, the resolution can get kicked down > to 640x480.

It's definitely the right long-term answer. The question is really how far along it we can get in the FC6 timeframe, and if we can't get "far enough", what do we do as a stop-gap. > I haven't looked hard enough at the detection schemes in > system-config-display to know if the problems I'm seeing with some > monitors comes from a db that system-config-display owns or from some > auto-detection that Xorg is doing, though. So I don't know if there > will still be some work to configure the monitors I'm working with. Right now, s-c-display uses kudzu to try to DDC probe to find out ranges. The DB is mostly just for information when monitors lie or to make things a little bit more user-pretty.

Please let me know what do you think about it. I am thinking about a program that will try to get network configuration from windows registry at LiveCD startup. It can check out if there are any windows partitions, try to mount them read only and look if there is registry file at some standard locations. Reading registry can be painful but there are some open source programs that can read data from this file so I guess it is doable. I think that it would be very useful feature. A lot of LiveCD users are Linux newbies who have Windows on a drive, not every one has DHCP configured and getting network running is a hard task for a beginner. I think it is important to make this first contact with Linux as smooth as possible. What do you think about this idea? Is it something useful for Fedora project? Are there chances that I will find a mentor if if my application is good enough or should I apply for a different project?

This means that you have no way to read the files from a standard Windows installation within a Fedora Live CD. FAT32 partitions would be readable, but they're a dying breed. The release of Windows Vista will further complicate this by introducing an encrypted filesystem and other new features that may make reading Windows partitions even more difficult. -- Patrick "The N-Man" Barnes nman64 at n-man.com http://www.n-man.com/ LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/nman64 Have I been helpful?

Looking over the minimal-livecd.cfg that is currently provided with Kadischi it seems Anaconda tries to install some things probably not considered exactly minimal. This is 303 packages or so and I've come up with a small list I'll put below. This brings the package count down to 251 saving a bit of space in a totally minimilistic install. Have a look: %packages # Packages to exclude for minimal package set - atk - bind - bind-libs - bind-utils - bluez-libs - bluez-pin - bluez-utils - caching-nameserver - cairo - cyrus-sasl-plain - expat - freeglut - GConf2 - htmlview - irda-utils - libglade2 - libICE - libIDL - libSM - libX11 - libXau - libXcursor - libXdmcp - libXext - libXfixes - libXft - libXi - libXinerama - libXmu - libXrandr - libXrender - libXt - libXxf86vm - mesa-libGL - mesa-libGLU - NetworkManager - numactl - ORBit2 # End package set I'm curious if anyone has any suggestions or objections to this being introduced into the current minimal-livecd.cfg provided, as I was also looking at creating a standard-livecd.cfg and standard-livedvd.cfg which would accompany storage sizes for both CD and DVD media. Is this a good idea? Any ideas about package sets for those? Any packages to add or remove? Having the minimal-livecd.cfg, standard-livecd.cfg and standard-livedvd.cfg would round out provided kickstart cfg files I think for Kadischi. J.

Is this a good > idea? Yes, it's a splendid idea. We should start having more example kickstart files in ks_examples/. The more useful ones are those with a list of packages that can fit into a 650/700MB CD-R/RW and DVD. Other example kickstart files that we should have are country- or language-specific ones so that other users from non-english speaking countries can benefit from this project too. The problem with creating kickstart files for CDs is that there are so many packages to choose from, but we can't have everything. And each time we use Kadischi to create an ISO, if the list of packages we selected doesn't fit into a CD-R/RW, then we have to do it all over again, which can be pretty painful. I have attached a generic kickstart file that I wrote today. It fits into a 650/700MB CD-R/RW nicely. With a slight modification, we can use it as a standard-livecd.cfg for ks_examples/.

I can confirm that anaconda via kadischi does not seem to honor the specified x config settings. For instance, I tried xconfig --noprobe --driver="vesa" --resolution=1024x768 --depth=16 --startxonboot --hsync=31.5-57.0 --vsync=50-70 --defaultdesktop=GNOME With absolutely no luck. In fact, using the above with a package selection taken from an FC5 install's /root/anaconda-ks.cfg, failed to even get the x server installed if I remember correctly. I recall having to specify many more specifix x server packages than were in the /root/anaconda-ks.cfg. My hunch, though I didn't quite get to the bottom of it when perusing the anaconda code, is that anaconda handles x server package selection and configuration in a way that probably inadvertantly bypasses the config above, and doesn't get reflected in /root/anaconda-ks.cfg, at least in a way that would be suitable to use as a basis for a kadischi configuration. I think however, this and similar issues would be best addressed for new users via an example configuration and example iso, which illustrate precisely what kadischi is currently capable of doing and how. I.e. head off the inevitable new user questions that involve "why doesn't my kadischi output behave like this other livecd". Maybe kadischi's development isn't quite ready ready for that, but that would seem to be an inevitably useful reference at some point. -jdog __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I hesitate to venture vague memories, since I haven't been a kadischi user recently, but I'm remembering- a) it's not that it didn't get to X, it's that X wasn't even installed, i.e. no xorg.conf at all (and that happened as well before I tried specifying vesa, and most of the other non default xconfig items) b) after going through the kadischi/anaconda code, I suspected it had something to do with anaconda's rootpath option skipping the X config phase. And I assumed that the X config phase of anaconda was where anaconda decided which X server packages to install (completely seperate from the intuitive assumption that the default @Office and other stuff would get you an X server, since that's all my system's /root/anaconda-ks.cfg had, and it certainly had x installed configured and running). -jdog > > On 5/9/06, Eugene Teo wrote: > > > > Jane Dogalt wrote: > > > > > > --- Jeremy Katz wrote: > > > > > >> On Tue, 2006-05-09 at 15:42 -0400, Adam Stokes wrote: > > >>> but it kept replacing it with the video information for the build > > >>> host, for example, it would put the vmware information in the xorg > > >>> information for the livecd :( > > >> There are also options for specifying the monitor and video driver to > > >> use. > > > > > > I can confirm that anaconda via kadischi does not seem to honor the > > specified x > > > config settings. > > > > > > For instance, I tried > > > > > > xconfig --noprobe --driver="vesa" --resolution=1024x768 --depth=16 > > > --startxonboot --hsync=31.5-57.0 > > > --vsync=50-70 --defaultdesktop=GNOME > > > > xconfig --driver "vesa" --videoram 65472 --resolution 800x600 --depth 16 > > --startxonboot > > > > Choose a lower resolution. > > > > Eugene > > > > -- > > eteo redhat.com ph: +65 6490 4142 http://www.kernel.org/~eugeneteo > > gpg fingerprint: 47B9 90F6 AE4A 9C51 37E0 D6E1 EA84 C6A2 58DF 8823 > > > > -- > > Fedora-livecd-list mailing list > > Fedora-livecd-list at redhat.com > > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-livecd-list > > > > > > -- > Adam Stokes > > -- > Fedora-livecd-list mailing list > Fedora-livecd-list at redhat.com > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-livecd-list > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Some kickstart attributes are deprecated I think as 'lang'. xconfig may also be one of them, though I am not at all sure. A dive into pykickstart could be the best place to look. J.

How do I go about this ? Hello, Kadischi doesn't take an image of your working OS but rather creates a livecd from a fedora repository.

I followed the instruction on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Kadischi/Documentation#Configuration I built a repository in /tmp/fc5 copying the base directory from an FC5 disc 1 and the RPMS directory from disc 4. Then as per the instructions I changed directory to /tmp/fc5 and ran 'createrepo -g Fedora/base/comps.xml .' > Looks also like you may not be super user, as usermod is not set SUID, > it can only be run by root. I'm running as root. Again I think the issue is that only the kernel rpm is getting installed so I'm trying to understand how anaconda know which rpms to install and that's why I started looking at createrepo. I'm guessing that anaconda reads the repository data written by createrepo in order to know what to install. FYI, my kadischi command is 'kadischi /tmp/fc5 /tmp/fedora-live.iso' > > J.

In any case, you really should be copying all of the RPMs to the tree that or use a DVD, I have not been across this before and have not tried only creating repodata without all of Core's RPMs. You can probably attach /tmp/anaconda.log so others can also see what is happenning.

Have a look in lib/functions.py at get_kernel_version() about kernel versioning. Kadischi uses rpm.ts Python functions from RPM. There shouldn't be a discrepancy like that.

It is easily fixable, however this isn't an Anaconda development list You are looking for anaconda-devel-list most likely. The key error you describe is probably du to your repository and/or packages directories not being correct (of course). Until you can provide more information regarding your build environment and steps you've taken there isn't much anyone can do I don't think. You can also use the http://bugzilla.redhat.com as Kadischi is a component in Fedora Extras. >Also, when this LiveCD is generated, is there a way >it can be used to perfrom an installtion on a PC ? > > Not at the moment that I know of.

Message-ID: Now that I have a working liveCD, I have some quick questions 1) I see that liveCD does not have grub on it, so how do we tell that the kernel memory size should not exceed a certain limit in liveCD ? We can do that in grub by saying mem=blah on the line that specifies the kernel boot image ? 2) The boot (vmlinuz) image which is not part of any rpm, I think is picked up by anaconda/kadischi from /boot of my system right ? Now, I will be installing a custom 2.6.15 kernel on my box. How do I tell kadischi to pick that one and the corresponding vmlinuz/initrd images for the liveCD ?

When I boot with my liveCD, I am prompted with a GUI for network/firewall configuration stuff ? How do I suppress this ? I need to make my liveCD completely non-interactive. How is this done ?

Why is that ? BTW, I have edited the comps.xml in Fedora/base, to have xtrainstall listed as a "Base" package. And rpm group info for this xtrainstall rpm that I have created is "System Environment/Base". (In comps.xml there is only "Base" I dont see anything listed as "System Environment").

If you do your install via kickstart, firstboot will be suppressed by default. If you're doing an interactive install for the live CD, you'll need a post script to disable firstboot Jeremy From chitlesh at fedoraproject.org Mon May 22 16:43:30 2006 From: chitlesh at fedoraproject.org (Chitlesh GOORAH) Date: Mon, 22 May 2006 18:43:30 +0200 Subject: [Fedora-livecd-list] Package does not exist error In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <13dbfe4f0605220943g50c5ecc0i7d05fdc1bf3250c2@mail.gmail.com> On 5/22/06, Sheshadrivasan B wrote: > BTW, I have edited the comps.xml in Fedora/base, to have xtrainstall listed > as a "Base" package.

That may have to do with the fact that the release is primarily japanese with english as a secondary language. But, it is pretty good.
