Hello, list! WHile trying to generate a livecd with the git version of revisor from thursday 17.th (or wed 16.th, not sure), I get an iso file of about 3GB, although I expect it to be about 500MB. I'm not sure what debug info you need to tell me why it is so large, so I just want to ask if there is some known issues regarding theis problem. If not, I will come back with more info, e.g. output from the building process etc.
This has been a known issue in certain cases where both the squashfs.img and the ext3.img end up on the ISO image. Please use the latest from GIT and tell us if it's solved now.
Yes it is. However, I'm not able to boot the livecd: Reading from bottom and upwards: swithroot: mount failed: No such file or directory Setuproot: error mounting /sys: no such file or directory setuproot: mounting /proc no succh file or directory setuproot: moving /dev failed no such file or directory mount: missing mount point mkrootdev: expected fs options
My guess is you're trying to create a Fedora 8 LiveCD?
That's right.
I've seen this before, the init script in initrd0.img is missing some file labels and mount points. I've not been able to fix it in F8, but I do know it composes rawhide quite well. For composing Fedora 8 (or on Fedora 8) though, you might want to try the F-8 branch of Revisor, which will have less features (2.0.5) then the master or F-9 branch, or livecd-tools.
The command 'git branch' gives me only * master. So how do I grab the F-8 branch of Revisor?
