More information. I am using Ubuntu Maverick but I am building a Debian live system mode debian and I use the Debian testing archive squeeze. my lh config looks like this lh config --packages "${EXTRAPACKAGES}" \ -b "usb-hdd" \ -a "i386}" \ -d "squeez" \ --mirror-bootstrap "http://localhost/${REPOSITORY}" \ --mirror-chroot "http://localhost/${REPOSITORY}" \ --mirror-binary "http://localhost/${REPOSITORY}" \ --mode "${MODE}"\ --bootstrap "debootstrap"\ --language "en_ZA"\ --initramfs "auto"\ --archive-areas "${SECTIONS}"\ --security "false" \ --source "false" \ --volatile "false"\ --verbose \ --bootappend-live "boot=live debug locale=en_ZA username=robert timezone=Africa/Johannesburg utc=no quickreboot noapic bootfrom=removable-usb"\ --username "robert" \ --apt-options "--yes --allow-unauthenticated" Versions used. I have tried the latest from debian (testing), these are lb instead of lh and I have used the ones that come with Ubuntu Maverick. they are live-build 2.0~a21-1 etc. The version makes no difference. Under lucid everything worked fine, auto login - everything. Thanks, Rob Key |
