I have a working USB live install of F9 with a 1GB overlay. However, I have had to start over on a few occasions because trying to get certain updated packages breaks things.
My observations when trying to update:
yum - Works
kernel - Works (improved wireless drivers)
firefox - Works
udev - Breaks booting something about loading the 50-udev rules file even though it kept the old one (.rpmnew for the new one)
xorg - Breaks X, it goes into an infinite loop trying to start X instead of only trying 3 times.
Is it possible to have a special excludes file for yum just for live installs? That way it would prevent customized packages from being replaced and breaking things.
I'm not worried about having a fully updated system on a USB flash drive (though it would be nice) but I do want to keep the kernel and other packages I use updated.
Thanks,
Richard
