NAME

6       livecd-creator - creates live CD or DVD images.
7

SYNOPSIS

9       livecd-creator [OPTIONS]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       livecd-creator creates live CD or DVD images(ISO images) from kickstart
13       files. Kickstart files contain information about packages and
14       configuration settings which are used to build the image.
15

OPTIONS

17       -h, --help
18           Shows the help message and exits.
19

IMAGE OPTIONS

21       These options define the created image.
22
23       -c KSCFG, --config=KSCFG
24           Path to kickstart configuration file.
25
26       -b BASE_ON, --base-on=BASE_ON
27           Add packages to an existing live CD iso9660 image.
28
29       -f FS_LABEL, --fslabel=FS_LABEL
30           Defines the file system label. The default is based on the
31           configuration name.
32
33       --title=TITLE
34           Title used by syslinux.cfg file
35
36       --product=PRODUCT
37           Product name used in syslinux.cfg boot stanzas and countdown
38
39       -p, --plugins
40           Use DNF plugins during image creation
41
42       --compression-type=COMPRESSOR
43           Specify a compressor recognized by mksquashfs.  xz is the default
44           and works with 2.6.38 and later kernels.  gzip works with all
45           kernels.  lzo works with 2.6.36 and later kernels.  lzma will only
46           work with custom kernels.  Set to 'None' to force reading the
47           compressor used in BASE_ON.  If gzip is used, the -comp option is
48           not passed to mksquashfs to allow the use of older versions of
49           mksquashfs.
50
51       --releasever=VER
52           Set the value to substitute for $releasever in kickstart repo urls

REPO EXTENSIONS

100       livecd-creator provides for some extensions to the repo commands
101       similar to what DNF supports. The strings $arch, $basearch and
102       $releasever are replaced with the system arch, basearch and release
103       version respectively.  When no --releasever is passed it defaults to
104       the current system's version.  The allows the use of repo commands such
105       as the following:
106
107       repo --name=fedora
108       --mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-$releasever&arch=$basearch
109
110       Note that in a chroot environment (like koji) the rpmdb is not
111       available, so either don't use $releasever in that case, or pass
112       --releasever=VER
113
