December 13, 2008 · Leave a Comment

It is very easy to create a Live CD of package of own choice.

The livecd-tools is package is required to install.

#yum install livecd-tools

The Package will install kick start files in /usr/share/livecd-tools directory

We can tailor the file according to our requirement .e.g. add remove packages

we may have the need to modify the line with SELinux –Enforce to SELinux –disabled

To make is ISO image of livecd with slected packages, the command is

#livecd-creator -c /usr/share/livecd-tools/kick-start-file

The lab work is to create a custom spin cd. To create a Fedora  CD with Custom packages, I have used the tool named “Pungi”.It is a pretty simple job. The step are given below.

1. Yum install pungi

2. Created a configuration file named “f9-ks.cfg” that customize the spinning process.The packages can be listed here to include them to CD.
Kickstart File

3. As a root run the command

pungi -c f9-ks.cfg –nosource –force –ver=F9

4. This command would create the iso image.

5. Burn ISO image to CD.

This the great lab in that we learn how to create the custom GNU/Linux Installtion CDs
