I have updated my instructions on how to roll your own CentOS-4 Live CD. I also made a script which does it all for you. I have also got instructions on how to turn the Live CD into a PXE bootable Live version.

Great! I was just looking for this! Unfortunately there seems to be something missing: by the time we run the first yum command, there's no distroverpkg package installed under $LIVE to query for $releasever. My output is: -------------- # yum -c $LIVE/etc/yum.conf --installroot=$LIVE install yum Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories not using ftp, http[s], or file for repos, skipping - Null is not a valid release or hasnt been released yet Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: update Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: update --------------- Should the user install centos-release RPM with prefix equal to $LIVE beforehand? Or is there any other easy but correct way to pass this variable to yum?
