Description of problem: This evening I downloaded rawhide-20071019-x86_64.iso as found on the Fedora torrents. I then tried to create a bootable USB stick using a fully updated F-7 box: # livecd-iso-to-disk rawhide-20071019-x86_64.iso /dev/sdb1 Already set up as live image. Deleting old in fifteen seconds... Copying live image to USB stick cp: cannot stat `/media/cdtmp.s17912/squashfs.img': No such file or directory Cleaning up to exit... For a sanity check I retried using an F-7 livecd iso: # livecd-iso-to-disk Fedora_ISO/Fedora-7-Live-x86_64.iso /dev/sdb1 Already set up as live image. Deleting old in fifteen seconds... Copying live image to USB stick Updating boot config file Installing boot loader USB stick set up as live image! A bit of digging led me to realize that for older (F-7) iso spinds squashfs.img is in the root directory of the iso image, whereas for composes from rawhide which will be F-8 it is in the LiveOS subdirectory. I am attaching a patch to fix this. I think it would be REALLY important to fix this in the F-7 livecd-tools and push an update as I think I'm describing what will be quite a common use case when F-8 is released (i.e. people wishing to create bootable F-8 sticks under F-7 in order to upgrade).
Created attachment 240781 [details] Patch to allow F-7 livecd-iso-to-disk to work with rawhide/F-8 isos
You realize that the F8 version already handles all the permutations? :) And for the F8 release, we're going to include the script on the iso to make things easier. I'm hoping to also get out an F7 update in the next week or so, but the big thing is finding some time to ensure everything is working.
