Hi,
I am trying to use live helper in Ubuntu 7.10 to create Ubuntu live. The
package live-helper is 1.0~a28-1. The first problem I have is if
lh_config is set without  "--initramfs casper", the created iso won't be
able to enter command line prompt. I already filed a bug report here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/176667
The casper version is 1.110.
Now I run this following to create such an Ubuntu gutsy live:
- ---------
mirror_url="http://free.nchc.org.tw/ubuntu";
mirror_security_url="http://free.nchc.org.tw/ubuntu";
lh_config --sections "main restricted universe multiverse"
lh_config --mirror-binary $mirror_url --mirror-binary-security
$mirror_security_url --mirror-bootstrap $mirror_url
- --mirror-bootstrap-security $mirror_security_url
lh_config --initramfs casper
lh_config --distribution gutsy
lh_build
- ---------
However, if I boot the created gutsy live, and run "df -h", it shows:
- -----------------
ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ df
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted onvarrun
                 178812        52    178760   1% /var/run
varlock                 178812         0    178812   0% /var/lockudev
                 178812        32    178780   1% /dev
devshm                  178812         0    178812   0% /dev/shm
tmpfs                   178812         0    178812   0% /tmp
- -----------------
So no more /live_media ? Looks like the boot media is mounted in /cdrom,
and "df -h" does not report, and nor does "mount" report. IMHO,
/live_media is a better name than /cdrom. Using the similar method to
create Etch live, it's still using the name "/live_media". Is that true
that for newer casper, /cdrom is used instead of /live_media ?  and
anyone here know why "df -h" does not report the mounting status ?

Thanks in advance.
