There are multiple testing releases done prior to release -- the best way to help improve the quality of the final releases is actually helping to test these pre-releases.

And then there are also > complications around export control, pressed media, etc Is it frequently the case that updates will actually break the LiveCD, but normally work on hundreds of thousands of actual installs? This seems counter-intuitive. I would have thought that the extensive QA done for normal Fedora updates should mean they would work right out of the box on the uniform LiveCD installs. For example, wireless doesn't work for me, nor does the union filesystem with a ramdisk. If I write more than a few megs to the unionfs using a ramdisk + cdrom on FC9, I get massive filesystem corruption and kernel panics (for example, try to yum upgrade a couple large packages). It seems like it couldn't hurt for cases like these to have an "experimental" section of monthly automatically remastered disks with simply the latest set of updates for the latest stable disc. Then people could try the latest ones if they experience serious bugs with the "stable" release images... > > In general, I've noticed the initial release of many distributions is > > quite buggy, but that things vastly improve after a couple of months > > of updates.

Yeah, sure, more testing would help, but it will never eliminate all the edge cases that only become apparent with actual usage for longer periods of time and on a wide variety of hardware, ie the ones discovered by the actually deployed installbase. -- Mike Perry Mad Computer Scientist fscked.org evil labs -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

No. I've used the unmodified kickstarts from livecd-tools-017.1-1 for testing. And: root at work:~# rpm -V livecd-tools root at work:~# > Also, 'setarch i686 uname -m' should give basically the same information > for what arch is used The output of this is the correct "i686". I'm not sure about this but I think this behaviour was introduced by yum-3.2.19. And maybe it's related that commands like "LANG=en_US.UTF-8 yum ...." are also not working anymore.

(%package --instLangs en_US:es_ES or similar) If not, then you're not going to see any change. The default behavior is to install all languages.

I would also LOVE to see livecd-creator not needing root. Has anyone talked to the livecd developers about this (email CC'd)? I can't find any recent discussion on their mailing list about it though.

And doing something like fakeroot doesn't work because just "remembering" the changed owners isn't good enough -- they actually need to be changed on the filesystem so that the resulting filesystem (that you boot and use as a normal system) has the correct ownership, selinux xattrs and permissions.

FWIW, I've done a lot of work over the years on my livecd creation project (viros.org), and the main reason I worked on it instead of solely on livecd-creator was a strong personal preference on not requiring root. My method for succeeding involves using qemu/kvm appliances running just from a highly customized fedora-based initrd-only system. The result is that it is 6 odd times slower than livecd-creator, but it doesn't require root. Thinking about the pre/post-inst rpm scripts being run under the limited protection of a chroot in livecd-creator just doesn't sit well with me. So it's definitely doable, but there is a price to pay. Several aspects that necessitated needing virtualization may now be doable via the fact that fuse is enabled by default for users. But I think there are still a few places you need root (virtualized or not, but not just fakeroot) to get the job done. -dmc From zuber at puzzle.ch Fri Sep 12 14:26:42 2008 From: zuber at puzzle.ch (Andreas Zuber) Date: Fri, 12 Sep 2008 16:26:42 +0200 Subject: [Fedora-livecd-list] livecd-iso-to-pxeboot.sh and initrd0.img Message-ID: <200809121626.51398.zuber@puzzle.ch> Hello I have a problem with the creation of a livesystem for our pxe-server. I customized a kickstart for the livecd-creator and he successfully creates a new iso out of that information. But when i try to extract the images with livecd-iso-to-pxeboot.sh, it says: "The ISO image doesn't look like a LiveCD ISO image to me. Cleaning up to exit..." The script is looking for the file " /isolinux/initrd0.img" if i get that right. But this file isn't on the created CD. Content of the created live CD: ./isolinux ./isolinux/boot.cat ./isolinux/isolinux.bin ./isolinux/isolinux.cfg ./isolinux/menu.c32 ./LiveOS ./LiveOS/osmin.img ./LiveOS/squashfs.img My question is now, what is wrong here? Got the initrd0.img renamed during development of the livecd-tools and the livecd-iso-to-pxeboot.sh needs to be fixed or is there something wrong with my configuration in the kickstart file and the imitrd0.img still has to be created normally? further i tried to build one of the kickstart files from the spin-kickstarts repository, but it could not be created because of some dependency issues. My own kickstart file used our local repositories and they are managed by cobbler. Versions of livecd-tools i used were recent fedora9 version and git HEAD.

In fact, I just finally got this working about an hour before your email arrived. 1) I was not realizing it wanted to simply see the entire ISO disk mount as you described above. 2) This still did not work for me. I needed to modify the livecd-iso- to-disk bash script exactly as indicated here: http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Fedora/2008-05/msg02303.html Then it worked perfectly. Thanks for the help.

This is the main problem preventing the use of the latest livecd-tools package under CentOS/RHEL 5. The anaconda package is taking care of the installation of the distribution. Since CentOS is supporting its packages for 7 years, introducing a new version of a critial package such as anaconda and providing support for it would be unrealistic. Hence, the official CentOS LiveCD is unable to support the latest livecd-tools.

I booted the system with FC7 live CD, with option run from RAM. 1. logged in as root 2. mounted the FC7 live CD to /mnt 3. again mounted the /mnt/squashfs.img to /mnt-squash 4. again loop mounted the /mnt-squash/os.img to /mnt-os Now in my laptop (80GB Harddisk, 1GB RAM, intel centrino processor, Windows XP Prof), i have 80 GB NTFS partition C:/ So i dont have any option to create a ext3 partition. i just used the windows NTFS partition as temporary build space for my new distro. 5. mount /dev/sda1 to /win (This is the C:\ drive of my laptop) 6. create a dir /win/build 7. create a 4GB file using dd as follows dd if=/dev/zero of=/win/build/os.img bs=512 count=8388608 8. the above command created a raw 4GB file, i used mkfs.ext3 to create a ext3 partition on this 4GB file. 9. mkfs.ext3 -L / /win/build/os.img 10. loop mounted (RW mode) /win/build/os.img to /new-os/ 11. now i copied the contents of original fedora live CD os.img (/mnt-os/* to /new-os/*) Note: I used --preserve=context option to preserve the SELinux Context. (cp --preserve=context -rf . /new-os/) 12. changed /new-os/etc/issue file. 13. unmounted /new-os 14. then created a squasfs.img using the new os.img image and sysroot folder as follows, cd /win/build/ cp -rf /mnt-squash/sysroot . mksquashfs os.img sysroot/ squashfs.img 15. now i got the squashfs.img successfully, (but firsttime i got the compressed size of squshfs.img as 653MB, later, 4th 5th time the size grown to 1.1GB, 1.2GB - but this is not the subject of interest!) 16. created a dir /win/my_new_distro 17. copied newly created squashfs.img to /win/my_new_distro 18. copied /mnt/sysroot to /win/my_new_distro/ 19. copied /mnt/isolinux to /win/my_new_distro/ modified the boot loaders ditro display name, splash images in isolinux/ 20. created the bootable isoimage using mkisofs cd /win/my_new_distro/ mkisofs -o ../sakthi.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -V sakthilnx . 21. successfully got the ISO image of my new distro, i just burned it to my CD using cdrecord cdrecord -v -dao -dev=1,0,0 sakthi.iso 22. Booted my new distro CD, it booted successfully, reflecting all changes in boot loader screen. 23. Selected the 1st option Run Live Image 24. It uncompressed, control moved to rc.sysinit, and complained not able to execute hwclock, permission denied. from here all the system service failed saying permission denied error. All that i guess is SELinux context issue, but when i checked the medium --> squashfs.img -->os.img -->(mounted) (my new distro, by mounting in another linux machine) i found that the SElinux context is preserved it has context smilar to FC7 Live CD. i dont understand where i did the mistake. i haven't referred to any documentation / wesite, on how to build custom distro, all i did is my own guessing. FYI: previously one of my try is successful, there i copied os.img contents to the NTFS partition (/win/os-cnt/) then i did the changes, and again copied all the contents to my local os.img file (ext3 partition) i did not preserved anything while copying, except i changed the tmp/ dir with chmod 777 tmp/, chmod t tmp/. this worked well, booted, all services started successfully, x server started. but when i try to login from X window or Command Line (Ctrl+Alt+F1) i am been logged out automatically in less than a second. loggin in from Command Line, it says (no shell to login, permission denied). from GUI, a window appear and says your session lasted lessthan 10 secs, please see the log files for details. I dont understand neither error messages. Please forgive me for my bad english, and let me know if some thing is not clear or want more details.

I decided to eat my own dog food and started building livecds using spin-kickstart git, with no custom changes. I'm building i386 images of fedora-livecd-desktop.ks, fedora-livecd-xfce.ks, fedora-livedvd-games.ks, pulling from rawhide mirrors. I'm testing these isos using qemu-kvm. Here's some issues I found: fedora-livecd-desktop.ks (648MB) - builds ok, booting, sort of. I can use automatic login but something is eating the vm resources. I gave it 350MB of ram, gnome would load, but gnome-panels were useless. After giving 450MB of ram, gnome-panels were fully loaded and the desktop seems usable, until PackageKit kicks in and eats the rest of the vm's resources. fedora-livecd-xfce.ks (664MB) - builds ok, booting, sort of. It starts X but then, no automatic login window, no gdm panel or background, just mouse pointer, no cpu usage. fedora-livedvd-games.ks (3981MB)- missing packages in build. According to koji, packages starfighter and blobandconquer, are not included in f10. I needed to comment out those packages so the build could finish sucessfully. It boots but X doesn't start. I'll try to bring more details on this issues, in the mean time, I'll continue to build other livecd/dvd*.ks, trying to spot other issues while testing my own pt_PT builds of these livecds.

It can download a kernel and initrd from HTTP server and boot the OS. === Exmample to use gPXE scripts on the sample CD-ROM === Select "gPXE" at GRUB Menu and Move to shell mode of gPXE (Press "CTL+B" right after GRUB). Execute the following commands on the shell to boot InetBoot. gPXE> dhcp net0 gPXE> kernel http://www.inetboot.net/gpxe/debian-lenny-kde-beta1 gPXE> boot Afhter that the OS, which is designated by the gPXE script, will boot.
