[Fedora-livecd-list] Kadischi: Notice

[Jasper Hartline]

To users of the LiveCD and LiveDVD creation utility: Kadischi
There is now a subpackage for kadischi called kadischi-tools.

This subpackage contains find-live-cd, eject-live-cd and scanswap.
Until Kadishci and Kadischi-tools makes it into the main Fedora repositories
it will be required to include package zlib into your repository 
transaction if using
a local disk or networked repository source with Kadischi whether you 
are using the
CVS compiled and installed method or RPM methods.

To do this, simply modify your comps.xml file and add zlib as a 
mandatory package.
For RPM users, simply add kadischi-tools as a mandatory package, it 
already requires zlib.

If you do not include zlib as a package in the transaction set, booting 
the LiveCD or LiveDVD
will likely fail due to it's requirements on libz.so.1 from zlib package.

If you are using a stock Fedora repository, those users will simply need 
to wait
until kadischi and kadischi-tools is added to the main repository.

Alternatively, you can set up a local repository for inclusion into 
Anaconda, and
still use a stock Fedora repository along with a localized disk 
repository with kadischi-tools
in it and listed.

The purpose of creating the subpackage was to alleviate the current 
binaries being compiled against
zlib, which pciutils requires and pciutils-devel is used to compile 
Kadischi binaries.
This was a better approach than statically compiling the binaries.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. This is a simple notice for 
Kadischi utility users.
