Debian Live: 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 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. 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'.
