It may be possible there will be bugs that show up, when users use thier own livecd-creator made ISO images, but.. if these were the normal F13 LiveCD ISO files it should have worked. I know some problems exist with livecd-tools' livecd-creator and some packages in F14 Alpha. Also udev older than 161-1 I believe might have a problem in VirtualBox. I know Qemu suffers. Which LiveCD ISOs were you using, which versions? -- livecd mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/livecd
