Well Mark I resolved the default "user" problem long ago and I am able
to specify my own username for the image in this snapshot: <

The whole argument was about whether or not one can grep a Debian Live
user specified alternative name in config/*
The problem with the image above referenced is that it only boots in
the Debian Live host machine and not in other with Fedora and Debian
Lenny installed to its hard drives.
