[Fedora-livecd-list] Problem creating livecd from a custom config

[Tim Boring]

hi! i'm trying to build a custom livecd from a config file using the
instructions here
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-fedora-livecd/index.html


so i've followed the format of the config file and then created my
rpm...these steps appear to complete without any problems.

the problem i'm having is when i run the livecd-creator command.  here's the
command i'm using:

' livecd-creator --repo=livecd,file:///usr/local/fc6/repo --package=
mylivecd-0.1-3.i386.rpm --fslabel=LiveCD-1.2'

and here's the output/error i'm getting:

`/var/tmp/livecd-creator/build-tmp-d5CrT/install_root/sbin/mayflower': No
such file or directory

/usr/bin/mkisofs: Uh oh, I cant find the boot image
'boot/grub/stage2_eltorito' !

it seems like the issue may be with the environment and the mayflower
executable not being in $PATH, but i added this line

    'export PATH=/sbin:$PATH'

to my config file and rebuilt my rpm.  i've also made sure that i have /sbin
in root's path prior to running the livecd-creator command.

really all i'm wanting to do is to set up the root user with a password and
according to the docs this is the only way i've found.  is there any simpler
way to do it?  or does anyone know what might be causing the error above?
any help is appreciated.

thanks,
tim
