The kernel name to use is "live".
You can set static IP before building the CD in this config file:
livecd/config/binary in section
LH_BOOTAPPEND="ip=eth0,192.168.0.1,255.255.255.0,192.168.0.254"
(IP,Netmask,Gateway)

Sudo lets a user execute commands with root's rights. If you really need
a password for root you can simply create one. On the shell you create a
root-shell "sudo bash" and then you can set your root-pw with "pwd". Of
course it will vanish after reboot.
