The problem is that casper creates the user in question during system startup - so your rc files may be overwritten, they may belong to someone else, and probably a whole lot of other unpleasantnesses. The most convenient way to work around this is to put all those files in /root/debian-live/config/chroot_localincludes/etc/skel - that way, when casper creates the user in question, it will copy those files into the user's home directory, proper permissions and all. Hope that helps, -Juergen
