Some earlier versions of the livecd-creator ignore this option and it was a known bug. Related thread: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-livecd-list/2008-August/msg00048.html LiveCD-Tools 013 approach, and most of the pre-Fedora 9/10 related changes, have been more radically changed, and are far more capable. In other words, don't expect LiveCD-Tools to be fixed for Fedora 8. Indeed, I see the last version released for F8 is 013.1: http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/updates/8/i386.newkey/livecd-tools-013.1-1.fc8.i386.rpm At most, you could try rebuilding LiveCD-Tools from another distro release to see if it fixes the issue. Of course, it will likely break because of various changes in the distro. I know there were significant changes in the distro from Fedora 8 to 9 which LiveCD-Tools 017 relies on differently than 013. http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/updates/9/SRPMS.newkey/livecd-tools-017.3-1.fc9.src.rpm Another option, which will likely work but may not fix your problem, is to try LiveCD-Tools 013-8 release from the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL), namely for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Release 5 (EL5). http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/SRPMS/livecd-tools-013-8.el5.1.src.rpm For the .src.rpm files, I assume you know, download, run "rpmbuild --rebuild" and use the resulting RPM in /usr/src/redhat (assuming you haven't changed the default RPM macros). Again, 013-8 from EPEL it should work, but I don't know if it addresses your issue. Then again Rahul may have modified it for some EL5 differences, and it may not work. I've never tried it myself. > Is this broken in this version? I know some may say "upgrade to F11" > or something like that, but that's not really possible for us at this > time.

Considering Fedora 8 went EOL and has had no security fixes since shortly into 2008, you should consider either a newer Fedora** release or Red Hat Enterprise Linux Release 5.** -- Bryan **NOTE: I understand there are other considerations.
