Back to my main subject, I tried "livecd-iso-to-disk" for creating a live-boot stick. It did not work on my FC7, a couple of packages are missing (checkisomd5 and udevadm).
Can anyone let me know which package to download so the two commands available? I searched the reps of FC7 and did not find any clue. It is good to have the persistent overlay setting.
dd if=Fedora-13-i686-Live.iso of=/dev/sdb1 1382400+0 records in 1382400+0 records out 707788800 bytes (708 MB) copied, 589.826 s, 1.2 MB/s
Last step, just need to "chown" the mount point for the media to be writeable.
root> chown username /media/disk/
As shown above, the live-boot-stick is in the first partition which I can not make any change as it is created by the dd command. I am curious how to change the read only file system to be writeable. Thanks for any the response.
As I said earlier, you could do what I did a couple months back: boot up the live CD, and do an install with the usb stick as your target drive. that gives you a normal fedora that boots from usb with no writing restrictions, unlike the live-on-usb mechanism does. I used an 8 Gb stick... someone said it won't install on a 4GB stick since it isn't really quite 4 Gigs, and the live-cd installer wants a min of 4 gigs.
I, being paranoid, disconnected the hard drives before doing that just to make sure I didn't accidentlly install over what was already on them. (having accidentally formatted my 500 GB usb drive that was the backup of some important stuff, a few months ago, when I MEANT to format a usb flash stick.)
