I finally worked out what's going on with livecd-creator. It's this bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1182362
and the workaround is trivial: just add 'tar' to the list of packages in the kickstart. I will add this to the p2v.ks upstream shortly.
I'm also building a 32 bit ISO based on Fedora 22 which will go on the website later today (if it works).

Hello, Thanks for that awesome info, I modified p2v.ks and added "tar" as one of the packages and it did in fact build on a Fc22 32-bit OS! I used livecd-creator p2v.ks and it built. Strangely (very strangely....) when I burn the resulting .iso (383MB) as a CD it fails to boot, complaining about blk_update_request errors and hangs. At first I thought it was my CD-RW, however I tried on a standard CD-R and it throws the same error at the same sector, on this antiquated 32-bit hardware or on newer hardware as well. I tried 2 different burn hosts with identical sector error results. But, if I burn it as a DVD, it boots perfectly. If I boot it as a VM .iso startup disk, it boots perfectly. I wrote it to a USB pen drive using a windows utility called "rufus" and create a bootable USB disk, it works too. very strange. But the important thing is that I have a 32-bit ISO I can use in one of these forms, worst case I will install a DVD drive in the antiques I need to salvage. Not sure why as a CD it won't boot and the identical .iso burned to a DVD works. Anyway, thanks alot for your help, I am on the way to getting this working. Cheers, Marty
