Can't Find "mylivecd.iso"[Solved]

[Abraxas]

I have tried making a mylivecd '.iso' twice now, and are pretty sure both were successful, but cannot find the created image    
Can see disk space in "/" has decreased on each occassion.

* "df" command after 2nd attempt:

[root@localhost ~]# df
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda6              19G  6.2G   12G  35% /
/dev/sda5              18G  1.2G   17G   7% /home

*Have installed 'draklive-install'

*Ran Bleachbit; then Bleachbit Root.

*I used the very simple default commands:
"umount -a"
"mylivecd name.iso"

*Have read mylivecd --help
I realise if there is not enough room in /root, it will fail, but I believe I have enough.  

I expected 'mylivecd.iso' would be created in "/root/tmp".

This (newly aquired) Computer can boot from a USB drive, which motivated me to make a 'mylivecd .iso' as I don't have a DVD Burner, seemed a good idea at the time.
 
I don't seem to have the skills to work in "/root", have searched for the .iso, using commandline, "cd  /"  ;  "cd /tmp"  ;   "ls -a".  
Also searched with Konqueror, and Dolphin, using broad options. i.e. location " /"  - Find  .iso (firstly tried; full filename,  'pclos-kde-9.iso'.)
So I feel I need to ask for help, ... after 6 or so hours    

*Searched the Forum, but couldn't figure reading other posts were I've gone wrong.
I expected mylivecd.iso would be created in "/root/tmp".

Rather than ramble on I will post the output from the Terminal, on the 2nd attempt.
There's a few syntax errors in my commands, but I corrected them, and continued.
Thanks for your time.

Created 'pclos-kde-9.iso' (2746,374,144 bytes) in 01:20:45

[root@localhost ~]#

Any insight greatly appreciated as always.

[djohnston]

The command su in a terminal will start a root session in whatever directory you happend to be in. Use su - to become root and switch to the /root directory. In the meantime, to find your last created iso, in a terminal:

su -
updatedb
locate pclos-kde-9.iso

updatedb will update the locate database ahead of its scheduled cron run.

Thankyou djohnston 

I'm going to practice some /root moves to get the hang of it all.
Rarely use Terminal, plus there's no way I would have known to run: "updatedb".
Brilliant !
Only yesterday I told Menotu I wouldn't be bothered making a image of my System, it's kind of addictive however, and if this boots from a USB key, I'll be a very happy camper.
What should have taken at most an hour has taken me nine hours ...

I found both .iso's, moved then to my 500 GB External drive.
My main drive is 40 GB's, so I really only store the System, on the System Drive.

There they are sitting in the root of the root directory.

Handy to know,
Thankyou again for your time djohnston,

You're welcome, francis.

Normally you don't have to know to run it as it is ran daily via a cron job

Thanks YouCanToo.

This wasn't 'normal' it seems. Was a real pain actually. 
I learned something, plus the sharing of knowledge by djohnston, as a fellow PCLinuxOS user and volunteer Forum member is as always greatly appreciated. I'm sure we have all helped others, and been helped by others, to understand a piece of a huge puzzle. The Dynamic of interaction is a fantastic feeling.

I've got to make the .iso in USB bootable next, when the temperature drops significantly under 100 degrees
