Hi to all,
I need to create dated isos so I used the following as the iso image:-    /mnt/data2T/working/my32-2012.08_$date.iso
This does not seem to work. The iso has no date attached.
As the images are created semi automatically,  what could I use in it place? OR is it not possible to do this?

'date' is a bash command, IIUC.

So

DATE=$(date)

will apply the output of the command to the variable 'DATE' .......  so $DATE should now hold the information.

Code: [Select]

[user@XPS ~]$ DATE=$(date); echo $DATE
Sat Dec 29 10:08:52 GMT 2012
[user@XPS ~]$

Hi Just17 and sometimes Just18,
That confused the hell out of mylivecd.
too many things on the command line.
Removed the $DATE and all went well.
Looks as though I cannot data the livecd isos.
Many thanks anyway.

You would need to do two commands ....  set the $DATE first and then do the livecd.
