LiveCD Creator

hatstack · #1 8th June 2011, 05:10 PM

I'm not sure if this is a glitch or me just not using the program correctly, however I've tried multiple times to use the LiveCD-Creator program to no avail. Essentially I run it and nothing happens. It returns to the main prompt in under a second.

Curious if anyone has had any experience with this.

I have used the Windows version successfully, never tried the linux version.

Personally I prefer the good old DD if=namefile.iso of=/dev/sdX

Where X = USB device

I believe the OP is referring to the "livecd-creator" and not the "liveusb-creator" and if so then you will have to have "livecd-tools" and "spin-kickstarts" installed. Then open a terminal as root (su) and enter:

Code:

livecd-creator --config=/usr/share/spin-kickstarts/fedora-livecd-desktop.ks

and that will create a livecd.iso of the Gnome 3 desktop with the latest updates.

You have to be patient when you first run the script as it takes a while for the livecd-creator to gather info for the creation of the new iso.
