FWIW, livecd-creator failed to even parse the .ks files on RHEL5.2.
I'll file a bz ticket on that one.

I hope you are able to test the .ks on F9's / rawhide's livecd-tools as
well, because I don't think the good old livecd-tools that is in EPEL-5
takes the "part / xxxx" kickstart configuration directive into account
when creating the filesystem to install the packages to, and only F9's /
rawhide's livecd-tools have the necessary patches to make the "part /
xxxx" configuration directive overrideable.

I was finally able to use livecd-tools to build the image on F-9[1], but
only after commenting out the "traditional (big)" games to get around
the out of space issues.  We need to make a pass through the list of
games in the .ks file and prune out a few to get the size down to a more
manageable level:  https://fedorahosted.org/spin-kickstarts/


Hi Wart,

Good to see someone is looking after the Spin !!

The first thing todo about the size issues is to increase the size of the root partition, so make the number at the end of this line larger:
part / --size 8000

Say for example 12000, then the dvd image should atleast build and depending on how good the compression works might still fit on a 4.3 Gb single layer dvd (which I doubt) once we have a too large iso we atleast have a ballpark idea of how much we need to shave of. For starters drop vegastrike as that is absolutely *huge*.

Regards,

Hans
