There was also a bug in catalyst that caused "xdm" to be added to the

so I do not understand the sense livecd/xdm option. Does it only change
the variable in /etc/rc.conf?
Correct.
What if you have more than one user and don't want any to login?
Well, I just get irritated by the template-specfile. But if it would
automatically login by default, I would just keep the livecd/xdm option
blank in this case.
Then file a bug with suggested changes. People who get "irritated" but
don't bother to take a few minutes to try to *fix* the problem don't
help us any. The truth is that we code catalyst for Release
Engineering, first and foremost. The only reason pretty much *anything*
works for non-releases is because interested users have supplied patches
or given good ideas.
Do you really think it is *my* job to "fix the problem"? I am just a
simple user who had simply a simple question while you are the "Design
lead". Additionally it would be more than just "a few minutes", because
I can't speak python.
Doing catalyst support for non-releases takes a significant enough
portion of my time that I sometimes wish we'd never bothered to make an
ebuild for it. ;]
Why do you bother the time if it is too much for you? I don't understand
that.
I've thought if I have a question I can mail to this list and get some
help from _users_. I didn't excepted that there's a very nice "Design
lead" who answers with something like "what makes you think the CD
*would* login automatically?", only if I had asked.
In the out-of-date template specfile there was some sentences I've read.
And what makes you think the users *know* that the templates are
out-of-date?
You had begin to argue, while it was just, not more, not less an answer
to the "what makes you think the CD *would* login automatically?" Why
should I bother time if I had only a question? It also would reduce the
flexibility if I implement such a function. That was your argument.
Maybe I should ignore such mails from you, if I except help from
_users_. Maybe I should also ignore all the mails from you assigned to
me for this thread. I don't know yet, but I'll see and you'll see.
I've to do better things than argue with you, and I hope you too.
Thanks and bye!
