First of all I really appreciate you taking time out from your schedule to give such an in depth demonstration. I am saving your video for future reference. Next, I should tell you that I did not require the shadow-utils package, I just had to use the "not-rawhide" repos. Here is how I did it: Opened up fedora-repos.ks Commented all lines for rawhide, and uncommented all lines for "not-rawhide" repos. Downloaded the fedora-not-rawhide kickstart file. I also found that livecd-creator does not need a flattened kickstart you can just use a regular kickstart and it is smart enough to figure out by itself what to do. I do have a couple of questions though. You see, the main reason I am creating my livecd is because I want to put all my home settings into it like the config/ and local/ folder. I have noticed some strange things with regards to the /home/liveuser directory. If you unsquash the squashfs.img in the LiveOS directory and mount rootfs.img you will see that under /home there is no directory for liveuser. Yet when I boot the live image I get a directory in the live system called /home/liveuser. Where does it spontaneously materialize from ? Also the fedora-live-base.ks actually creates the liveuser directory, yet it is not there when the liveimage is ready. Very confusing. Lastly, I would like to know the order in which the %post sections are executed in a kickstart file. What is the ordering ? How is that ordering determined ? Thanks. -- Regards, Sreyan Chakravarty _______________________________________________ livecd mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected]
