no autologin - default passwd - french keyboard

[Pierre Meurisse <pierre.meurisse@laposte.net>]

Hi!

I made a binary-hybrid.iso from a fresh squeeze install,
live-helper Version : 2.0.6-1

I copied (from loop mount)
filesystem.packages*
filesystem.squashfs*
initrd1.img*
memtest*
vmlinuz1*
to a usb key in order to boot with grub.
It worked all right with previous binary.isos.

My problem now is that autologin doesn't work and I get a login prompt.
username 'user' with password 'live' doesn't work anymore.
I need a user password anyway, in order to login to distant machines
through ssh.

I googled and searched docs and debian-live list and I found
a way to create a user and password:

In config/chroot_local-hooks/ , I put :
<userpasswd.sh>
#!/bin/sh
#
cat > /tmp/userpier.txt << EOF

EOF

adduser --uid 1002 --disabled-password pier < /tmp/userpier.txt

echo "pier:live" |chpasswd -
echo "root:live" |chpasswd -
</userpasswd.sh>

It worked, and I can now login and su to root.

But the problem is that I lost my french keyboard and locales.

LB_BOOTAPPEND_LIVE="locales=fr_FR.UTF-8 keyboard-layouts=fr"
doesn't work anymore

I can do 'dpkg-reconfigure locales' and 'setxkbmap fr'
but I would like my config to work right away.
utf8 files don't display well with urxvt.


Below the changes I made to original config files :

config/chroot : 5
LB_UNION_FILESYSTEM="aufs"
LB_LINUX_FLAVOURS="686"
LB_LINUX_PACKAGES="linux-image-2.6"

Could you tell me a way to make things better ?

Thanks in advance.
