Re: how to set passwrod for Fedora LiveCD (Fedora 30)?

[Globe Trotter via devel <devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks! Because Yahoo Mail mangles responses, I will write things here clearly (including your questions).

> How are you creating it?

sudo livecd-creator --config=fedora-live-shunya-30.ks --tmpdir=tmp --fslabel=Fedora-Shunya-30-x86_64

> Is there more to the kickstart?  Where is the user creation?  That's where the password would be set.

Here is the entire kickstart file:

# fedora-live-shunya.ks

# Description:

repo --name=MyBaseRepo --baseurl=file:///home/maitra/rpmbuild/RPMS/$basearch

%include fedora-shunya-common.ks
