livecd-creator fails

[FireDragon]

Hi,

I want to build my own spin, but I can't even get the minimal system created.
Anyone any ideas? (I have F17 X86_64).

setarch i686 livecd-creator --config /usr/share/doc/livecd-tools-17.11/livecd-fedora-minimal.ks --fslabel=Fedora-LiveCD --cache=/var/cache/live

Have you tried creating a livecd with the kickstart files located in /usr/share/spin-kickstarts? This is how I run livecd-creator on my x86_64 computer to create an i386 livecd.

setarch i686 livecd-creator --config=/usr/share/spin-kickstarts/fedora-livecd-desktop.ks --cache=/var/cache/live/i386

Check the .ks files in spin-kickstarts to see what you may want to create. You could copy the spin-kickstart directory to your home directory and modify them to your needs and run livecd-creator like such.

setarch i686 livecd-creator --config=/home/user/spin-kickstarts/fedora-livecd-desktop.ks --cache=/var/cache/live/i386

Ok, that works, thanks!
