After applying my patch for #758218, and patching my live-images
gnome-desktop config as described in my previous email
<53f12b56.7060...@sanctuary.nslug.ns.ca>, I can produce an image that
boots successfully with these three glitches:

1. The i386 image includes 486 & 686-pae kernels, but only one boot
entry that claims to be 486, but really is 686-pae (if you need to boot
the 486 kernel, edit the syslinux commandline to replace the vmlinuz and
initrd.img to suffix them with the kernel flavour).

2. The image boots to console only. Login, create
/etc/X11/default-display-manager containing /usr/sbin/gdm3, and start
gdm3 manually.

3. The 'df' command doesn't work because /etc/mtab is a symlink to
/proc/mtab which doesn't exist. Remove that symlink and execute
/etc/init.d/checkroot.sh, which creates the correct symlink to /proc/mounts.

Since I didn't have time to figure out whether these were bugs in the
config, bugs in a non-live package, or bugs in live-build, I have not
yet filed any bugs. I would appreciate some help identifying them.

Thanks,
Ben
