[Fedora-livecd-list] building an automatic installer with livecd-creator

[Holger Levsen]

Hi,

I'm still working on building a fedora7 livecd which turns into a textmode 
installer...

Basically I'm there, but I still have found some problems (which are all 
workaroundable, but...). 

I've been using fedora7 as of today and livecd from git as of today, to build 
the image. The config is at 
http://xs-dev.laptop.org/holger/livecd-xs-installer-9.ks and the resulting iso 
is at http://xs-dev.laptop.org/holger/My-Fedora-LiveCD-9.iso

The first problem is at the very end of the build process:
anaconda-runtime not installed; not setting up mediacheck

This is strange, as a.) anaconda-runtime is installed on the build-host and  
b.) is included in livecd-xs-installer-9.ks

The CD boots fine and starts anaconda in textmode. Then there is the second 
problem: the questions about installing grub only appear, if I choose to 
review the partioning layout! (I basically just say "ok" to all questions.)

Then, when I eject the CD and boot the installed system, it starts grub, but 
there is not /boot/grub/menu.lst. When I configure grub manually (select root 
device, kernel & initrd), the system boots fine.

But then I hit the fourth problem: I can login as root without a password. (In 
the newly installed system.)

Attached is anaconda.log from /tmp/anaconda.log after an installation without 
reviewing the partioning layout and thus without the grub questions, the 
atached anacond2.log is from one with the grub questions. Except for that and 
the dates, those are identical though.


regards,
	Holger
