    [SOLVED] What are the livesys and livesys-late services?

    Hi, on a fresh install of F10 I have two services running, livesys and livesys late.

    What are these and what program has been installed that starts them?

    Doesn't sound familiar to me, but you can determine what (if any) rpm it came from with:
    rpm -qf /etc/init.d/livesys
    Substitute 'livesys' with whatever the filename is, shouldd be the same as the service name though.

    Code:
    [root@HP530 ~]# rpm -qf /etc/init.d/livesys
    file /etc/init.d/livesys is not owned by any package
    Code:
    [root@HP530 ~]# rpm -qf /etc/init.d/livesys-late
    file /etc/init.d/livesys-late is not owned by any package
    Code:
    [root@HP530 ~]# chkconfig | grep livesys
    livesys        	0:off	1:off	2:off	3:on	4:on	5:on	6:off
    livesys-late   	0:off	1:off	2:off	3:on	4:on	5:on	6:off

    Nick is right, those files appear to be part of a live-cd image, for providing persistant overlays.
    It seems like you can safely remove them after an install-to-disk from the little bit I read.

    I did install from the live cd. I will remove them will chkconfig --del livesys etc. Probably no need to turn them off before doing so.

    Thanks for the assistance.
