What help do you need on getting persistence working, or on LiveCD development in general?
For the persistence feature, I am looking for a set of patches that apply for the current livecd-tools package. I am currently comparing livecd-tools 015 and 014. Since the persistence feature was added in the 015 version, I will try to extract the required patches from the differences between both versions. Any help on this front would be appreciated.
I'm here, and the author of the relevant feature. Though I won't be online much in the next 24 hours, but after that I'm sure I can get you going.
Your help would be appreciated.
Also, if I could convince you to squeeze in another ~100kb package into the LiveCD, it would allow an experimental 'rebootless installation' in addition to the traditional and stable rebootful kind provided by anaconda.
The current CentOS LiveCD doesn't support installation from the live media. This feature requires a newer version of the anaconda package than the one provided by the CentOS 5 official tree (liveinst binary). Since CentOS is supporting its packages for 7 years, introducing a new version of a critial package such as anaconda and providing support for it would be unrealistic.
However, I tested and documented the installation from a live media: https://projects.centos.org/trac/livecd/wiki/InstallToHardDrive
Maybe this feature could be added to the 'unsupported' branch of the CentOS LiveCD project.
