Sir, I have overridden all of the suggested base files , but It does not have any effect on grub. One reason can be that the calamares installer I am using is getting the name from some where else. I will see into it in detail again and get back to you. Meanwhile I downloaded and installed your Auxtral distro for cinnamon, and was impressed by it. Especially d-i rebranding you did. Can you kindly tell how you did it? Are there any files to be modified after Debian Installer is installed , or do we have to rebuild it from source to modify? Since Debian Installer is itself installed during live build, and has no documentation I could find to rebrand it, so any help is welcome.
Thanks, I am grateful for all the tips provided by you and great live build community when ever I reach out.
