Hi there,
I recently did a fresh Fedora 12 setup and I also installed livecd-creator and spin-kickstarts. I managed to create a custom spin based on fedora-livecd-desktop.ks and fedora-live-base.ks. The spin is working fine on a couple of machines, both new and old. Great job Fedora Team!
The issue is that I have a machine where the FC12 spin boots but it hangs before starting X. I think that's what happens, because the screen goes blank after the boot option screen. On the same machine a FC9 LiveCD spin downloaded from fedora web site works fine.
I did made some minor changes to the FC12 spin, I removed some packages from the base.ks: @printing, @dial-up, @input-methods and I added some in desktop.ks: gdb, valgrind; not much.
My question is: how can I debug that installation on the machine that has the issue? Can I boot in text mode and then run startx and see what comes up or should I search for the installation log. I don't know how to boot in text mode from LiveDVD nor which file contains the installation log.
Also where can I find the content of each package group @base, @dial-up, @printing... I would like to know exactly what rpm's are in there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Regards,
Ovi
