I just wanted to try livecd-creator out. I wasn't expecting it to crash my system. FYI: the ks you have on that wiki page doesn't work by default because of the repo line. I had to get rid of the extraneous space between the repo= and the rest, add os/ to the end and change to the Everything repo as the release didn't include some things you have listed. The following line worked (until it filled my hd and all hell broke loose, that is): repo --name=8 --baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Everything/i386/os/ > > Anyone have an idea what broke? > > livecd-creator uses a folder under /var/tmp. If the process gets > interrupted it doesn't get cleaned up. Check that up. Moving a pile of stuff to another filesystem did the trick. I also cleared the leftover cruft out of the /var/tmp directory which gave me a whole bunch more. Thanks for the pointer as I was incorrectly looking in /tmp/ and not seeing any remains. How much space does making a LiveCD take? I recall the last time I ran out of space, Fedora handled it much more gracefully, would gdm not starting up on a system with no hd space for a regular user be a regression? /Mike -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
