Creating a Test Day Live Image

The following steps outline how to create a Fedora live image for use during test days.

1. Install required packages:

   yum install spin-kickstarts livecd-tools

2. Create a kickstart template, for example:

   cat <<EOF> fedora-livecd-testday.ks

   %include /usr/share/spin-kickstarts/fedora-livecd-desktop.ks

   repo --name jlaska --baseurl http://jlaska.fedorapeople.org/repos/testday

   repo --name awilliam --baseurl http://adamwill.fedorapeople.org/nouveau

   %packages

   gdb

   strace

   ltrace

   rendercheck

   libdrm

   -olpc-logos

   %end

   EOF

3. Create the live image:

   livecd-creator -c fedora-livecd-testday.ks

Using the Live Image

• To write the live image to a USB stick.
• To write the live image to a CD or DVD media.
• To load the live image in KVM or qemu.

Ideas For Improvement

1. Create a .desktop file with a Test Day URL on the Desktop
2. Make browser default homepage http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:Current (suggested by User:sgallagh)
3. Setup a test day .repo for the running live image (suggested by User:sgallagh)
