did a build with the change of not using /tmp and no logging

https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Fedora_25#livemedia-creator

1. Is this happening while trying to build the live iso with lmc? If so, please include the logs and the kickstart as individual text/plain attachments.

2. Is this happening during installation using a live iso built with lmc? If so  please include the logs from /tmp/*log as individual text/plain attachments.

Try to describe, in detail, the steps you have taken.

See wiki pages for details:

f24: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Livemedia-creator-_How_to_create_and_use_a_Live_CD

     works well; NUC i5 16 GB memory 1 TB HD

f25: https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Fedora_25#livemedia-creator

   "do not use  /tmp/lmc as root file system runs out of room"

     also no logging to / as it also fills root directory in f25
     (bios boot; f25 workstation in 512 GB ssd default install

terminal output in f25:

That's not enough information to tell what's going on. If you're using /tmp/lmc you need to make sure you have enough RAM available (assuming it is mounted using tmpfs).

But without at least the cmdline and kickstart you are using I cannot even try to reproduce this.

I repeat:look at
https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Fedora_25#livemedia-creator

from pagure:

ksflatten -v, --config fedora-live-soas.ks -o flat-fedora-live-soas.ks --version F25

livemedia-creator --ks /home/(user)/Downloads/pagure/flat-fedora-live-soas.ks --no-virt --resultdir /home/(user)/lmc/ --project Fedora-soas-Live --make-iso --volid Fedora-SoaS-f25-live --iso-only --iso-name Fedora-SoaS-f25-live.iso --releasever 25 --title Fedora-SoaS-f25-live --macboot

intel i3 64 bit 3.8 GB memory

this works ^ but 

livemedia-creator --ks /home/(user)/Downloads/pagure/flat-fedora-live-soas.ks  --logfile /tmp/lmc-logs/livemedia-out.log --no-virt --resultdir /tmp/lmc --project Fedora-soas-Live --make-iso --volid Fedora-SoaS-flat-live --iso-only --iso-name Fedora-SoaS-flat-live.iso --releasever 25 --title Fedora-SoaS-flat-live --macboot

fails if use "--logfile /tmp/lmc-logs/livemedia-out.log --no-virt --resultdir /tmp/lmc "

Right, if you only have 3.8G then 50% will be assigned to tmpfs and it's likely you'll run out of ram when using /tmp/ for the resultdir.
