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,
