Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
================================
Build Time
----------
Q: Is live-helper/make-live Debian specific?
A: live-helper supports Debian and Ubuntu right now. Adding automatic defaults
for other Debian derivatives is easy - let us know about them and we may
include it.
Q: How can I build images with an unprivileged user account?
A: You can use --root-command sudo or set LH_ROOT_COMMAND="sudo" in
config/common.
*BIG* *FAT* *WARNING*: Building an image as non-root can make your image
different compared to a regular Debian system (different owners of files). It
is *NOT* recommended to build images as non-root. Do *NOT* use this feature
yet.
Q: How do I drop in to a shell during make-live chroot process?
A: Use "--interactive shell", then exit with 'logout' when you have made the
setting changes you want and the build process will continue.
Q: Where to set the username or the hostname?
A: casper uses default username 'casper' and hostname 'live'. You can specify
them by passing 'username=' and 'hostname=' as kernel parameters.
live-helper automatically sets the username to 'user' and the hostname to
'debian'. If you want to change this at build time, pass --username and
--hostname to make-live, or alter LIVE_USERNAME and LIVE_HOSTNAME in
config/image.
Q: How can I make my own grub bootsplash?
A: To add a grub splash screen, you can use --grub-splash FILE, or copy your
custom splash to config/binary_grub/splash.xpm.gz.
Documentation about creating a bootsplash for grub can be found at:
<http://ruslug.rutgers.edu/~mcgrof/grub-images/>
Q: How can I make my own syslinux bootsplash?
A: To add a syslinux splash screen, you can use --syslinux-splash FILE, or copy
your custom splash to config/binary_syslinux/splash.rle.
Documentation about creating a bootsplash for grub can be found at:
<http://www.sweb.cz/Frantisek.Rysanek/splash/isolinux-splash-HOWTO.html>
contrib/syslinux-splash/COPYING in the live-helper sources.
Basically, you need to install netpbm and syslinux, and run this:
anytopnm < $your_splash > $your_splash.pnm
pnmcolormap 15 < $your_splash.pnm > $your_splash.map
pnmremap -map=$your_splash.map $your_splash.pnm | \
ppmtolss16 '#ffffff=7' > splash.rle
Run Time
--------
Q: What is the root password?
A: There is none set. You can switch to root with 'sudo -i' or set a password
with 'sudo passwd'.
Q: What is the user password?
A: The password for the default user is 'live'.
