RE: Installing CentOS 7 with livemedia-creator

Well, this is a little embarrassing. I've answered some of my previous questions already. Two issues were misleading me:

One, when using --no-virt, I need to be careful to remove any files left over in /tmp/ and /var/tmp/. I seem to pick up stale repo information when I don't do this and livemedia-creator fails. This doesn't seem completely rational, but cleaning up helps give me reproduceable results. I'm doing:
sudo rm -rf /tmp/yum.cache /tmp/yum.repos.d /tmp/yum.root /tmp/anaconda-yum.conf
sudo rm -rf /var/tmp/yum.*

Another issue was that I was using an HTTP server for my mirror that yum did not like: Python's SimpleHTTPServer. After switching to Nginx, this started working again. I don't know why this is necessary, but I'll grab more wireshark captures tomorrow to compare. I have a feeling that the issue *might* be HTTP 1.1 vs 1.0, or maybe MIME types? Anyway I'll work that out soon.

Next I will revisit my "updates" repo, which I see now needs to be named almost anything except updates.

I'm still very curious if anyone has examples of using the --make-disk option.

Thanks,

I'm struggling to use livemedia-creator to create a bootable system ...
