Basic documentation



Dear debian-live team

I can't find any documentation about Debian Live?
E.g. what's the username and password?.....I did find it on Google after some time...but that should not be source of the most basic and vital information.

Another simple questions is how to change keyboard layout. I expect at least half of the users of Debian Live uses a different layout.....it would be nice if it was more easy to change for all of us.
I did found a way to change it on Google (but nothing I will be able to remember)....so now I need to keep a note together with my Live USB key!
I never found a way to make it persistent.though.
Can I edit a file in /lib/live/mount/medium?
As the vast majority do use a writeable medium (USB flash) and not a read-only CD-ROM...it would be nice if it was more easy to change persistently.

Another thing:
I guess no one use CD-ROMs these days.....I haven't had a drive in my laptops for MANY years!
Maybe it's time to stop aiming Debian Live to a CD-ROM media, and stop using it in titles, guide etc. At least not as the primary media/option....we moved to USB flash drives many years ago ;-)
When I read the limited pages and documentation about Live, it's almost as USB flash keys are a brand new technology that most people haven't started using yet.

Thanks.in advance.

Brian
