The kernel name to use is "live". You can set static IP before building the CD in this config file: livecd/config/binary in section LH_BOOTAPPEND="ip=eth0,192.168.0.1,255.255.255.0,192.168.0.254" (IP,Netmask,Gateway) > On the other hand, if I simply hit enter at the boot prompt the system > boots up very nicely to the gnome desk top.

If you really need a password for root you can simply create one. On the shell you create a root-shell "sudo bash" and then you can set your root-pw with "pwd". Of course it will vanish after reboot.
