I created a custom auto-logon user. however X complains that the files in the user's home directory aren't owned by him. how should I get these files to be owned or at leas writeable by the user? the directory and all files are owned by root.

I assume you are putting these files on the CD using root_overlay. I just ran into the same problem last night. When catalyst copies the files into the chroot, it copies them with the same permissions.

You have two options: 1) 'chown -R 1000:users' the stuff in the root_overlay dir (the first user created in the chroot will have the uid 1000), or 2) run 'chown -R youruser:users /home/youruser' in a fsscript.
