[Fedora-livecd-list] Re: newbie question: FC3 and kadischi error

[Eric White]

so, digging a little further into the mailing list archive, I saw that
my errors, below are an artifact of my FC3 host platform. Replacing the
single occurrence of rsplit with split(), left me with in unresolved
function (shutil), which became resolved when I used the PYTHONPATH
envvar to explicitly point at the installed python library ... but now
I'm getting less feedback:

Done.


My host is an FC3 system and I'm trying to build an FC3 LiveCD -- I
can't move to FC4 at the moment
