Hi Alexander,
Tks for your advice.

I checked
1)
/isolinux/isolinux.cfg
default livecd
label livecd
kernel lfskernel
append initrd=initrd.gz root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk_size=16384
vga=795 desktop=twm
- END -
Remark: also tried;
append initrd=initrd.gz root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc devfs=mount
ramdisk_size=16384 vga=795 desktop=twm
(adding devfs=mount)
2)
/etc/fstab
# Begin /etc/fstab
# file system mount-point type options
dump fsck
#
order
proc /proc proc defaults
0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=4,mode=620
0 0
- END -
only 2 lines there.
3)
Depressed "/isolinux/initrd.gz" and checked the content of initrd vs
the hint.
4)
Check the notes taken download during building LiveCD against the hint.
5)
Googling around on Internet but without result. I found some more less
similar problems there but not related to building LFS LiveCD OR
relating to building other LiveCDs
I suspect leaving out following command line before creating
livecd_image;
# mount -t squashfs usr.sqfs /usr/ -o loop
/usr/ has been compressed and removed thereafter.
If running the abovementioned command line before creating livecd_image
and without umount it then the image size became 1.4G against 430MB
with usr.sqfs umounted.
I applied following command to burn CD-RW on the fly;
# mkisofs -R -l -L -D -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -o
$ISODIR/livecd_image.iso -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot
-boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -V "livecd" /mnt/livecd && cdrecord
-v -eject dev=ATA:1,0,0 blank=fast $ISODIR/livecd_image.iso
(remark: running the host to burn CD)
I can't figure out how to stop "mkisofs" reading usr.sqfs and adding
its content in the livecd_image if the abovementioned command line is
up
Could you please shed me some light. TIA.
