Hi all, In a previous mail I mentioned removal of '--lock-root-password'. On the same line (36) of 'vm.py' is the argument passed to 'vmdebootstrap' of '--sudo'. Ok, according to the manual pages this will force the install of the 'sudo' package. Also if a user is created, it will add them to the 'sudo' group. However, under 'live-wrapper' I see no user creation at 'vmdebootstrap' creation time, thus this leaves us with 'sudo' installed but any user created at install of the end result ISO image, not part of the 'sudo' group. I see the primary purpose of the correct usage is to create a username and password that can be used while running in live mode. Example: vmdebootstrap --user=debian/debian --sudo The above would create a user 'debian' with password 'debian' who can use 'sudo' whilst running in live mode; and it is probably this behaviour we would want?
