Hi Rene,

Thanks for your help, I am able to build the CD images. Now I've built a
live CD, but can't seem to find the username/password. Can you let me know
what is the default username/password for the liveCD. 

Thanks,

Vatsal Mehta

7.0-rc2 probably fails on Ubuntu due to the 1-perl cross build. Just  
check out the
branche/7.0 from SVN - which should also build on Ubuntu.

The Linux header are included with T2, however maybe this ad-hoc  
"benchmark" is
not correctly configured anymore, as I only quickly stuffed it  
together for a test
(thus the name benchmark). Better select a more useful target, such as  
generic,
desktop, ...

Yeah - I just some month ago improved our GRUB to work around bugs in  
the
CD-ROM emulation, so the next ISOs should work better.

When you build your own ISOs you could also choose to use syslinux.

You can build a normal T2 ISO with Grub, and then use our iso2stick  
converter
script which comes with T2 co install the system bootable onto a USB  
Stick:

./misc/archive/iso2stick.sh some-t2-target-with-grub.iso /dev/sdb # or  
what your stick device is
