I am asking for help:
Is there some documentation on the use of the option:
--base-on=BASE_ON ?
I am wondering if this is a functional option in f13-f14, and how is it
used?
how do I add a package to an existing .iso image
In: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-fedora-livecd/:
Options for Livecd-creator:
$ livecd-creator
No packages specified.
usage: livecd-creator [--help]
[--repo=<name1>,<url1> ...] [--repo=<name2>,<url2>]
--package=<p1> [--package=<p2> ...]
[--exclude-package=<e1>] --exclude-package=<e2> ...]
[--base-on=<path-to-iso-file>]
[--fslabel=<label>]
--help : Print usage and exit
--repo : Path to yum repository
--package : Include this package
--exclude-package : Exclude this package
--base-on : Add packages to an existing live CD iso9660 image
--fslabel : File system label (default: livecd-YYYYMMDD-HHMI)
...............
The examples look like a very nice way to customize a .iso,
without doing a full build with a .ks file
BUT
................
But in f14 liveusb-creator --help
*Options provided by the livecd-creator command*
f14(rawhide)
livecd-creator --help
Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
Image options:
These options define the created image.
-c KSCFG, --config=KSCFG
Path or url to kickstart config file
-b BASE_ON, --base-on=BASE_ON
Add packages to an existing live CD iso9660 image.
-f FS_LABEL, --fslabel=FS_LABEL
File system label (default based on config name)
--compression-type=COMPRESS_TYPE * *Note: NEW TO F14(rawhide)*
Compression type recognized by mksquashfs (default
zlib, lzma needs custom kernel)
System directory options:
These options define directories used on your system for creating the
live image
-t TMPDIR, --tmpdir=TMPDIR
Temporary directory to use (default: /var/tmp)
--cache=CACHEDIR Cache directory to use (default: private cache
Debugging options:
These options control the output of logging information during image
creation
-d, --debug Output debugging information
-v, --verbose Output verbose progress information
--logfile=FILE Save debug information to FILE
.....................
Many of these options
--package : Include this package
--exclude-package : Exclude this package
are not listed for f14. Is this a feature no longer supported in fedora?
Where can one find more information and usage cases?
