<DIV><SPAN class=468425201-09072008><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am attempting to
create a fedora 9 livecd based on the livecd-fedora-minimal.ks
file.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=468425201-09072008><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=468425201-09072008><FONT face=Arial size=2>I understand that as
is there is no login capabilities for this livecd. I have been successful in
running livecd-creator and creatiing and burning the iso
image.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=468425201-09072008><FONT face=Arial

<DIV><SPAN class=468425201-09072008><FONT face=Arial size=2>When I boot from it
i get the login prompt no problem.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=468425201-09072008><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=468425201-09072008><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now my question is
how do I enable logging in to the cd.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=468425201-09072008><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=468425201-09072008><FONT face=Arial size=2>I added the
following lines to the .ks file:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=468425201-09072008><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=468425201-09072008><FONT face=Arial
size=2>#!/bin/sh</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=468425201-09072008><FONT face=Arial size=2>/usr/sbin/useradd -d
/home/fedora fedora</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=468425201-09072008><FONT face=Arial size=2>/usr/bin/passwd -d
fedora</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=468425201-09072008><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=468425201-09072008><FONT face=Arial size=2>My understanding was
that this would create a fedora user with no password.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=468425201-09072008><FONT face=Arial size=2>I tried it on my
regular fedora 9 system, and it created the user properly and I can login with
no password.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=468425201-09072008><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=468425201-09072008><FONT face=Arial size=2>When I recreated the
livecd, I drilled down and looked at the ext3fs.img and found that the fedora
user was indeed created</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=468425201-09072008><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=468425201-09072008><FONT face=Arial size=2>However, when I boot
from the livecd, and put in fedora as the user, it prompts me for a password,
and no matter what I enter, it won't let me log in.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=468425201-09072008><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=468425201-09072008><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is there something
else I need to do to enable loggin into the
livecd?</FONT></SPAN></DIV></BODY></HTML>
