Building A Live CD - Failures

For Week6, our task was to create a Fedora LiveCD, from scratch.

So Following the Tutorial From Fedora's Wiki site and as well notes our professor Chris Tyler placed on our class Wiki Site I was able to install the needed tools, and tried running the following command

livecd-creator --config=/usr/share/spin-kickstarts/fedora-livecd-desktop.ks --fslabel=Boris-LiveCd --cache=/var/cache/live

and recieved the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/livecd-creator", line 140, in
sys.exit(main())
File "/usr/bin/livecd-creator", line 114, in main
creator = imgcreate.LiveImageCreator(ks, name, fs_label)
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/imgcreate/live.py", line 47, in __init_ _

return str(self.message)

So...I logged onto the CDOT machine HongKong and ran the same command it completed successfully

So next, it was time to try the image on a virtual machine. To do so, I entered the following command

qemu -kvm -m 512 -cdrom "image file"

Sadly I received the following error.


Well, for now I will leave it at that and will ask Chris on Tuesday about these errors, maybe he would have some insight to this.

Next Task, adding my own package to the LiveCd.

Chao...
