- f24 Common Bugs:
[ 1 ] use live-iso-to-disk for persistence
dnf install livecd-tools
livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr --overlay-size-mb 2000 --home-size-mb 2000 --delete-home --unencrypted-home Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-24_Beta-1.4.iso /dev/sd(x)
- (x) USB must have: fat format, boot flag, label=LIVE
- (x) CAUTION use "mount" (in terminal) to get correct name for USB (/dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd etc)
livemedia-creator
- 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:
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."

- 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/)

- switch root terminal to the local directory with the kickstart files (/home/(user)/Downloads/pagure/)
ksflatten
- updated 06/28/2016
ksflatten -v, --config fedora-live-soas.ks -o flat-fedora-live-soas.ks --version F25
livemedia-creator example
livemedia-creator --ks /home/(user)/Downloads/pagure/flat-fedora-live-soas.ks --no-virt --resultdir /home/(user)/lmc/ --project Fedora-soas-Live --make-iso --volid Fedora-SoaS-f25-live --iso-only --iso-name Fedora-SoaS-f25-live.iso --releasever 25 --title Fedora-SoaS-f25-live --macboot
- note the changes from f24
- https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Fedora_24#livemedia-creator
- not in /tmp/lmc as root file system runs out of room.

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
- ends with:
