Thanks very much. The problem is I can't read python codes. So I have to take instructions from livcd-creator's README file. And now my iso image could boot up and show login prompt. However, the whole system is read-only status. Some stuff in rc.sysinit show Failed.
And in this stage my question is how to fix that problem like how do I make the whole fs is read write. Thanks very much.
