Re: [gentoo-catalyst] Make liveCD how to

[js]

  
  


Thank You Chris for your patience,

I'm in the stage of having my own first humble gentoo linux based
bootdisk right now:-)
One detail though,
When booted I'm asked for a login and password,.... which  but I don't
know the password (which will be randomized i guess)

How can I arrange that i just get a prompt and allready logged in as
root?

Thanks

    Ok,

I've been through the process of trial and error and when building
stage2 for a livecd I get this error :

Add livecd-tools to your livecd-stage1 or your CD won't boot properly.

Make sure you have "livecd" in your livecd-stage1's livecd/use or things
won't be merged properly.

  
  
    sed: can't read /etc/devfsd.conf: No such file or directory
Error, cannot setup splash theme livecd-2005.1
    
  
  
You're trying to setup a splash theme without merging it.  You either
need splash-themes-livecd in your livecd-stage2's
boot/kernel/$kname/packages, or you need to remove livecd/splash_type
and livecd/splash_theme.

  
  
    !!! catalyst: Preclean runscript failed.


pwgen is in the list  of  the stage1 answer file.
someone with a clue?
    
  
  
The init script is only installed when it is merged with USE="livecd"

      Hi all, 

I've been looking in to how to make my own livecd based upon the
gentoo livecd's 2005. 
For what i've found there is a tool named catalyst which enables me
to do so. 
What I want to do is to keep the current x86 livecd's as they are,
add some binaries and some self made scripts. 
I've been looking through the documentation provided with catalyst
but I must say that I can't figure out how to begin doing this. 
The documentation is helpfull when you allready know how to work
with catalyst my opinion.  The /usr/share/docs directory contains
some examples, but they are examples for what? 
Can I download a gentoo 2005.1-r1 bootcd iso and add software to it
with the catalyst tool? 
Do I need to have a freshly installed clean gentoo to make a new
bootcd? 
Does catalyst produce a new iso file or something similar, 

I was hoping if someone could jumpstart me with this. 


Greetings, 

Jelle
