live-helper caches packages by default (cache/packages*) already, don't use lh_clean --purge if you want to keep the cache (see lh_clean manpage for more information). > 2.

How can I start gnome applications at start up on the livecd? create a .gnome directory that has the things you want, and put that into /etc/skel thorugh chroot_local-includes. > 5.

If so how? depends :) you can have seperate d-i on the same media (with or without live-installer), but you can't do a installation triggered from the running livecd. see manual, there are some thoughts about it. -- Address: Daniel Baumann, Burgunderstrasse 3, CH-4562 Biberist Email: [email protected] Internet: http://people.panthera-systems.net/~daniel-baumann/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
