I finally succeeded getting a Fedora Directory service installed on a “persistent”  Fedora9 USB drive (DNS lookup issues caused previous reported startup problem).

 

I am now attempting to install the DogTag PKI package on the USB drive using  ‘yum’ -- but is prevented to do so – apparently a PKI repository for Fedora9 has not yet been built.

 

Any suggestions? Should I may attempt a manual “piecemeal” type installation of individual PKI-RPM packages – if I knew the dependency-sequence, such task may be easier? Even if successful with such “piecemeal” installation, I assume there is no guarantee the Fedora8 built DogTag PKI system will “behave” properly under Fedora9!

 

When can I expect a Fedora9 version of the DogTag PKI to become available?

The “livecd-iso-to-disk” command appears to work OK when loading Fedora9 on-to  a USB thumb-drive with “persistence” option (with an appropriately sized overlay – I used 1 GBY overlay). Custom changes to file-system and installation of new applications appears to survive subsequent  reboot sessions.

 

However, while attempting to install the DogTag system on the “persistent” USB, I run unto trouble getting the Directory Server to startup properly. The log-file indicates the configuration session went OK – but the resulting instance does not start (or remain on running state) –  the log-file does not indicate any errors!

 

Have anyone on the list been successful getting the Directory Server  (and DogTag PKI) to install on a “persistent” live USB? I am using fedora9 version 2.6.25-14.fc9.i686 – downloaded a few days ago. Any comments & suggestions appreciated!
