If you want full automation, I hear catalyst is good for that (if you do a search for catalyst in these forums you will find a lot of good information).
I know doing it manually is a ton of extra work, but it is so worth it with the customibility that it adds.. _________________ only the paranoid survive |

That's exactly why I liked the livcd-ng script. You can easily change everything and still most of the work is done by the script. I've looked at the Catalyst-HOWTO at http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/releng/catalyst/catalyst-howto.xml
but it looks as if it was much more work than the livecd-ng way...
I'm checking out the manual way right now. Maybe I'll stick to that... |

okay, best of luck, mate!
Please post here or PM me if you run into any problems doing it the manual way. I had to do a small amount of hacking to get it to work for me, but it's finally up and running. Hopefully I can help save you the trouble if you do have some issues.. _________________ only the paranoid survive |

i have the same problem. really nobody has an answer????

The problem seems to be realted to the "fix" that tries to solve the ".config"-problem. The directory structure for /usr/src/linux get messed up by doing this. Therefore there is nothing to make when the scripes tries to.
Whoa. Bumped into another problem now when I tried it on another machine I've got:

The scipt is old. The directory structure looks different now. Swap it with the following:
Code: | http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo/releases/x86/2004.3/stages/x86/stage3-x86-2004.3.tar.bz2 |

I'm using stage3-x86-2004.3.tar.bz2 with the original version of livecd-ng as 1.1 mirrors are not available as far as I'm aware. Any help would be appreciated.

OK, I sucessfully got a cloop image to build (after a LOT of editing in the original livecd-ng script). I copied everything, syslinux'ed my USB stick, but when I stick it in a USB bootable computer, it just won't boot.
Even when I select "USB stick" in the boot menu, it just boots Win NT!
The uba1 partition has the bootable flag set, and all files seem to be in place
Does my USB stick need support foir this too? It just looks in the MBR, doesn't it? syslinux does not report any errors.
I have a MSI Megastick 256 (USB 1.1 version was a bit too fast to buy a USB stick )
@steverfink:change the LOOP_SIZE variable in the settings file to a bigger value (mine is set to 600000 = 600 MB) _________________ If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit. |
