Assuming an user that I *especified* as: "name-of_user", below is how I find it *and* I expect (if I understand the instructions appropriately) to be created in the final image. This is how I would check for its existence in the config/* resources: $ find debian_live/config/ -type f | xargs grep -i name-of_user debian_live/config/binary:# (Default: name-of_user) debian_live/config/binary:LB_USERNAME="name-of_user" Accordingly, if the "name-of_user" is not created in the final image, as it happened in my initial attempts, then something is wrong -with Debian Live scripts, the repositories, who-knows, etc.; but something is wrong. I replied to Juan how the problem was resolved from my perspective -in practical terms not in pedantic or theoretical ones. > >> I think you missed prior emails regarding issues of hard copy only >> working on developing machine but failing in other where there is a >> Fedora and Debian operating systems installed. > > i apparently did miss that too, do you have a reference? At the risk of further hijacking this thread this is what the previous email referenced: Subject: Debian live binary-hybrid.iso to CD-Media hangs (October 8, 2010) ...ok, using live-build 2.0.2+20101002.080418~50lenny+1 live-config 2.0.8+20101002.081229~50lenny+1 live-config-sysvinit 2.0.8+20101002.081229~50lenny+1 to create the image and subsequently burn to CD-media; upon booting machine other than host I can at last see the message where the hang occurs: ...

Booting issues in other than the Debian Live host machine?
