Since I was so busy during reading week I did not get a chance to do the fedora live CD until very recently. I first went to the seneca wiki page and found links on how to do the live cd.
Using the live cd how to I tried the sample command there to see if it would work and it did, it started making a live cd but I had to make my own personal version so I stopped the process.
I first had to get a kickstart file to edit, I looked in the /usr/share/spin-kickstarts/ directory where i found fedora-livecd-desktop.ks, I then issued the command "cp fedora-livecd-desktop.ks /home/jddeni/" to save it to my home directory.
Before the %packages section I put a repo command to add the rpm from it into the live cd.
repo --name="jddeni" --baseurl=http://scotland.proximity.on.ca/jddeni/
In the packages section I took out the fedora branding and put my own by placing these lines in the kickstart file:
# add generic branding
generic-release
generic-logos
generic-release-notes
#Remove Fedora Branding
-fedora-release
-fedora-logos
-fedora-release-notes
When I ran it the first time using the command
livecd-creator --config=/home/jddeni/fedora-livecd-desktop.ks --fslabel=Refuge Live Cd --cache=/var/cache/live
it stopped working saying it couldn't find my package, I was completely confused about this because there were no typo's or anything. I later realized, due to Chris Tyler's help, that when I put the entire filename, jddeni-release-1-1-fc10.noarch.rpm it won't work, so I had to take off the 1-1-fc10.noarch.rpm and leave it as just "jddeni-release" and luckily it worked.
The whole process lasted about half an hour to make but it finally worked, I now have Refuge.iso and plan on putting in on a cd soon.
