dear friends
First i would request not to close this thread as" i already have one running" -- now my problem is entirely different.
I am using Fedora 8 i386 on my AMD Athlon 2800+ machine and i wanted to create a live Cd of fedora 9 with custom packages.
1.I have the Fedora9 dvd iso downloaded
2.I have installed Revisor
3.I made a local repo of custom packages.
4.i have mounted my iso file to a local directory
following this thread
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=174147 i have mounted the iso file and i have edited the revisor.conf file and revisor-f9-i386.conf file i am listing the files here
Revisor conf
