- (x) USB must have: fat format & boot flag
- (x) CAUTION use "mount" (in terminal) to get correct name for USB (/dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd etc)
livemedia-creator
- SEE https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Livemedia-creator-_How_to_create_and_use_a_Live_CD
- for older method (namely for Fedora 23) using livecd-tools (livecd-creator) visit https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_a_Live_CD
- If you simply want to burn a pre-made ISO to a disc, visit http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora to download a LiveCD or LiveDVD, then see the install guide or burning how-to for further instructions.
- Examples in f25 root terminal:
mock
you should always do all work in mock, this will allow you to esure that the compose environment matches the target environment
to setup a Fedora 25 x86_64 environment you would run the following
$ mock -r fedora-25-x86_64 --init $ mock -r fedora-25-x86_64 --install lorax-lmc-novirt git vim-minimal pykickstart
if you wanted a different arch or release you would use the correct mock configuration file
Install files
updated from fedora page 12/15/2016
- ksflatten is part of pykickstart
# dnf install mock

kickstarts
inside the mock chroot, clone the kickstarts
$ git clone https://pagure.io/fedora-kickstarts.git
Install files
- livemedia-creator and ksflatten are part of lorax
# dnf install lorax virt-install libvirt-daemon-config-network pykickstart
- Must be done first:
- You must be in the same fedora version (f25) first. This is so that packages can be installed to livecd without SELinux errors and is relabeled at boot time.

"In --no-virt mode it's calling anaconda directly so kickstart processing of the %include may work, depending on the location of the files. But if you're using it in virt mode only the top level ks gets passed into the vm so ksflatten is required in that case."
pagure kickstarts Links
- alternately: git clone the repo and not get each piece manually
- Kickstarts need to flattened before use:
- hit raw tab and save-page-as to a local directory (/home/(user)/Downloads/pagure/)

- "If you're using /tmp/lmc you need to make sure you have enough RAM available (assuming it is mounted using tmpfs)"
- use /var/lmc if low on memory
- "Right, if you only have 3.8G then 50% will be assigned to tmpfs and it's likely
you'll run out of ram when using /tmp/ for the resultdir."
warning
- 12/14/2016
- There is a problem using LMC this way:
<adamw> satellit: you really *really* shouldn't be running lmc directly on the system with --no-virt anyway <adamw> it's a fundamentally risky thing to do
Make a remix
- edit the bottom of the flat-fedora-live-soas.ks
- that you produce with ksflatten (above)
- in this section of the flattened.ks:
%packages
- add a program (add name)
- - delete a program ( put - in front)
- put # in front of listed program to not install it
kickstart-docs
terminal output of livemedia-creator build
- Build takes a long time wait for completion

- start files application
- click on Files system
- open lmc folder
- click on the .....iso you just built
copy to (mouse right click) pagure with files application
- Check that it is in pagure
Clean Up
- delete the instance in lmc
- delete the lmc directory (cannot run new build unless this is done?)
