<pedantic> liveinst is purely a shell script to kick off anaconda with the various arguments for "install off of a live system" mode </pedantic> Installing a live image using anaconda requires the anaconda changes that went into Fedora 8 to do so -- you're not going to be able to get away with easily getting those running on a CentOS 5 system. You could hack up something to do the basic bits, but any of the, eg, help with partitioning you get or otherwise isn't going to be there. - Jeremy -- Fedora-livecd-list mailing list Fedora-livecd-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-livecd-list
