The iso of LiveInfo with the kernel 2.6 is now also available.

http://sigma.livecd.net/~skrat/LiveInfo-2.6.iso [ISO IS TEMPORARRY REMOVED -- edit 18.2. 01.10 GMT+ 1]

And MD5 sums for both files:

LiveInfo-2.4.iso 8987109d783f9050890c05ff5ceecc86
LiveInfo-2.6.iso e66ece9469c0fb2b7ca2bd099d8bb138

Awesome, Skrat! I can't wait to try it (and pray it will work on my Abit NF7 motherboard - or I might need to buy a different motherboard).

Please, do not use LiveInfo with 2.6 kernel while it turned out, that is still buggy. The link to iso image was also removed.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

I'm looking for someone who can help me create a custom Firefox LiveCD.

Thanks.

Great Job Guys!
The only thing I was not able to get to work was the prefs.js file. Mine contained a single line, see below, and was placed in the usersettings\firefox directory. As a work around replaced the index.html file in usersettings\www with a new one that contained a meta refresh tag.

user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", "http://mysite.mycompany.com");

Thanks,

Bob

oitsubob: amm... maybe there is really missing a howto for customization and a little bit self-explainable README files... :/

1. If you want to change prefs.js, the idea was to take original prefs.js from /usersettings/examples/firefox/.mozilla/firefox/.../prefs.js

2. Unfortunatly I just figured out that a script has a bug, so my suggestion would be as follows:
- take .mozilla/ folder from /usersettings/examples/firefox/ (copy it from CD somwhere locally)
- edit prefs.js inside .mozilla/firefox/.../prefs.js
- put whole .mozilla/ folder back on CD into /usersettings/firefox/

That should work, I hope!

I'll give it a shot! I guess I misunderstood the read-me file. I copied it over and deleted everything else but the home page option

Thanks,

Bob

I just built a new pc specificlly for Stallion 2 but the darn thing wont boot off my cd. I've had the same problems on other machines. Anyone know what I need to do inorder to get it to boot? change config files? boot loader? anything?

**Ghandalfar** · 02-20-2005, 11:12 PM

does the 2.6 infopoint boot?

**Quarky** · 02-21-2005, 02:17 AM

if you mean the LiveInfo cd, I dont know, I havent downloaded it. but if it helps, the firefox live cd(vff4.iso doesnt boot also. Knoppix and Morphix boots fine though.
