I updated the livecd-tools package from version 013 to 014. This update introduces new interesting features like :
- support for Xen kernel
- built-in md5sum into the resulting LiveCD ISO
- a new API
See https://projects.centos.org/trac/livecd/wiki/GetToolset for instructions on how to get this updated toolset.
Since it is a major update, I expect some bugs. I am looking for feedback from people interested in respining their own LiveCD kickstart files with the new tool.
As usual, if you encounter a bug or would like to submit a patch, create a ticket from the CentOS LiveCD project page: https://projects.centos.org/trac/livecd
Hey Patrice,
Together with Geerd-Dietger Hoffmann I am preparing a custom LiveCD for giving presentations with your wiimote and CentOS 5.3. This solution was specifically made for FrOSCon 2009 this weekend.
I implemented most of the suggestions I made previously, and integrated both the multimedia packages (players/codecs) as well as the hardware drivers from ELRepo.
To have sufficient diskspace for a CD (700MB) I had to remove some productivity applications and clean up other items you normally would keep on a LiveCD. I will make the kickstart-file available once I have finished this work.
Thanks for your work, without it I would probably never have looked at it !
PS I am also planning to include your work as an example in my own presentation for FrOSCon.
PS2 I had to make slight modifications to livecd-creator to make it work with a newer syslinux. A newer syslinux has various advantages. I'll probably make some more modifications to it after FrOSCon.
Kind regards,
