Re: making of a catalyst livecd

ok, I'm thinking either one of two things, if you have kernel-dependent packages that need to be added to 
 boot/kernel/{kernel}/packages in your stage2 spec file ... add
them. if they are in there and you are using kerncache turn kerncache
off and give it a pass.

  Chip:

If that's all you really need to do then possible the knoppix livecd might
be a better choice. But if you what to hack through catalyst. can you post
the actual error message you are getting.
