Thanks very much for your reply Tim.
I thought I could add /sbin to root's path permanently by editing root's
.bash_profile file, but, although the file took the change, that didn't
lead to /sbin showing up in root's path on a reboot. So I added /sbin to
root's path temporarily before running the livecd-creator again.
if you want to add /sbin to root's path permanently, you need to add it to
root's .bashrc, not .bash_profile. that'll take care of it so /sbin is
there after a reboot.
When I booted from it, all worked up to the stage where I was asked
to
log in. I knew nothing of any username or password, so I just pressed
Enter. However, that didn't work.
you couldn't log in because the livecd-creator command doesn't set a root
password and doesn't create a normal user. you'll have to do that
yourself. i think i saw that in the docs somewhere.
hope that helps,
tim
