46 xz is the default and works with 2.6.38 and later kernels.
47 gzip works with all kernels.
48 lzo works with 2.6.36 and later kernels.
49 lzma will only work with custom kernels.
50 Set to 'None' to force reading the compressor used in BASE_ON.
51 If gzip is used, the -comp option is not passed to mksquashfs to allow the use of older versions of mksquashfs.

86 --fslabel=Fedora9-LiveCD-foo
88 =head1 REPO EXTENSIONS
90 livecd-creator provides for some extensions to the repo commands similar
91 to what yum supports. The strings $arch, $basearch and $releasever
92 are replaced with the system arch, basearch and release version respectively.
93 When no --releasever is passed it defaults to the current system's version.
94 The allows the use of repo commands such as the following:
96 repo --name=fedora --mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-$releasever&arch=$basearch
98 Note that in a chroot environment (like koji) the rpmdb is not available,
99 so either don't use $releasever in that case, or pass --releasever=VER
