Hi to all,
I have PCLinuxOS 2010.07 install in 'virtualbox' and I am having problems producing a livecd of the system.
I tryed 2 methods of production but neither workd as can be seen from the following text:-
First try!!
Creating 'mylivecd' in virtualBox.

As can be seen, the 'df -h' shows that I less than 10Gb to image
My root partition is 40Gb and my /home partition is 166GB, so there is plenty of space in either for the iso file to be created.
Your thought, as always, greatfully received
