Hi,

You have "--apt-recommends=false" in your lb config line, so you
cannot login because user-setup is a recommended package and it is not
being installed precisely for that reason. The solution is pretty easy
but you'd better take a look at the explanation in live-manual for the
live-build version you are using. I include two links (to the
explanation and to one use example)

http://live.debian.net/manual/stable/html/live-manual.en.html#459

&&

http://live.debian.net/manual/stable/html/live-manual.en.html#825

(Again, take the second link as an example)

Besides, live-manual might also be translated into your language, so
if you prefer to read the translation, please take a look at:

http://live.debian.net/manual/stable/

Have fun!
