SBR600: Creating a Proper Fedora LiveCD

From my last blog about creating a LiveCd, my professor Chris Tyler noted that I should use the LiveCd Kickstart files found in the /usr/share/spin-kickstarts/ instead of the anaconda-ks.cfg found in the /root/ home directory as it is more optimized.

So off I go again, I decided to grab the fedora-livecd-desktop.ks and edited it. Again, I added my repository line, my package, as well this time I added the generic packages to replace the Fedora trademarks.

by adding the following lines into the kick start file

# add generic branding
generic-release
generic-logos
generic-release-notes

#Remove Fedora Branding
-fedora-release
-fedora-logos
-fedora-release-notes

This time, I used the time command to count how long it takes to create my LiveCD and this was the output when everything was said and done.

real 18m7.821s
user 12m10.108s
sys 1m48.200s

Next, time to try with the Virtual Machine. And it worked brilliantly, to ensure that my package was installed.

I issued the command rpm -qi irssi and surprisingly it installed my package. I could tell by the grammatical errors in the description

Here Again Are my "FINAL" finished files

My KickStart = Here
My LiveCd = Here (This time only 686 MB)
