Hi, Efgee. Tried to get a normal user working with this script but to no avail. This is strange because the Cat-0.2 script (the first one) auto-login as user and the new build iso have working user account. Here is download link if you like to try. http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/emil/sdl/Deb...

As a follow up: I know it's not the Puppy way, but being a normal user with sudo capabilities fits my needs. (instead of being root all the time) Tried to get a normal user working with this script but to no avail. Started using the original sagedebianlive script and to my surprise beeing a normal u...

Every time I want to disable "root" and enable "user" on startup efgee, for building a CAT with being user after autologin you have to add the following line to the nodm-hooks.chroot in modules/CAT/hooks sed -i 's/^NODM_USER.*/NODM_USER=user/g' /etc/default/nodm That's what I di...

SLIM is the smallest but unfortunately it does not work well for IceWM, OpenBox, JWM. I would suggest to test xdm and nodm (both the same size) and a little bit bigger but working without problems lightdm. Toni Thank you for the info. Will try to work with lightdm as I'm not after smallest size. I'...

Found out that if you want to manually copy the 3 needed files (image, filesystem, kernel) onto a partition of your choice, you don't have to mount the iso to have access to them. If the build goes right there will be a "build" directory and inside of it there will be a "binary/live&q...

Hi, Efgee. A few questions to make your trials clear? Do you have persistence save partition working except network issue? For example if you apt-get a program is the program there after reboot? It is important to test if any other changes are saved after reboot and only network change is a problem...

efgee I can not test at the moment. But I think I had a similar issue when I did a manual setup of the wireless network in Debian light Wheezy The baseline is, you need to add the nonetworking boot parameter to your grub config, otherways your network parameters are overwritten every fresh boot. No...

OK changing the name to persistence got me one step further. Because I wanted to see the changes made/saved I used a partition named persistence and placed the persistence.conf file on it.

Replying to this thread off an openbox-64-wheezy version, works as well. (used the config files that come with the package). Will look into adding tint2 to it as soon as time allows. However, can't get the persistence file (or partition) working; which is a must have, as the wi-fi stuff needs to be ...

Cannot change it to "live32" or "live64". You can move /live inside /live32 and use something like this example: title Live32 root (hd0,0) kernel /live32/live/vmlinuz boot=live config live-media-path=/live32/live quickreboot noprompt autologin initrd /live32/live/initrd.img Toni...

To add what emil said: I have an sd card reader built into my laptop but it's not accessible during boot. So I suppose the sd-card electronics are not hooked up (internally) over an usb interface but directly to another port. This being said: Hope your hardware enables sd-card booting. On a more imp...

No.
If I do "/init" the system tries to do the same: load the sensei64_001.sfs file but it doesn't work.
When I do "ls" I only see the files inside the "init" file.
