Hello,

I am hoping someone out there has some experience with Network Manager and
livecd-creator.  I am trying to create a Live CD which includes VPN
connection information for Network Manager.  Where in the system do the
network configuration files reside (i.e. the files containing connection
name, connection IP address, certificate file location, etc.)?  I want to be
sure I have all pertinent config files related to a specific VPN connection,
so I can copy them onto the Live CD's file system in the kickstart post
install script.

 More specifically, I am looking for some detailed information on where I
need to place the config files on the LiveCD's file system so that I have an
available connection to our VPN on logging in.

I have tried filling in user-specific information from
~/.gconf/system/networking/connections on a system with a working VPN
connection into /etc/skel on the LiveCD, hoping that when I boot up the CD
and log in to my user account, these settings will have been copied into the
user's home directory and the connection will be active.  When I create the
LiveCD in Fedora 8, the connection only works when I log out, then log back
into that user.  When I create the CD in Fedora 9, the connection does not
work at all (even when I log out and back in).  I can see that the config
files were copied from /etc/skel to where I expected in the .gconf directory
within the home directory.

If anyone has anything they can share about the Live CD boot process and how
it relates to starting Network Manager, I'd be most appreciative.  I have
also posted this query on the LiveCD mailing list.

Thanks much,
Todd
