Allowing compilation of stuff adds far too much of a "random" element with regards to what's on the system. > And I don't think the lack of support for a "squashed" initrd is a > problem. I believe initramfs works much better for livecds, anyway. :) But you need to get the squashfs module into the initrd[1]. Jeremy [1] Using initrd as a generic term for either initrd or initramfs. Note that Core has been using initramfs by default since FC3... this is one of the reasons why I say that the changes for live CD at an infrastructure level need to be better integrated. Peter has made some changes in mkinitrd which will help make this easier and I have the start of the changes for kadischi, but I probably won't get back to finishing them up until after test1 -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
