Debian-installer-launcher reads the pressed I¹ve included on the ISO if I
append the path to the exec path in my shortcut as such (pressed.cfg located
in config/includes.binary):

Exec=su-to-root -X -c /usr/sbin/debian-installer-launcher file=/preseed.cfg

Still working on the desktop shortcut issue.

I¹ve run into a few small snags that has me perplexed currently, and I hope
someone can lend a hand.

My live-build completes, and the ISO boots. Once the Live session has
started, this is where I see two strange behaviors.

1.  The desktop icon for the debian-installer-launcher that I have used for
many past build no longer appears on the livecd desktop.
2.  When I DO launch the debian-live-installer from the livecd (as the icon
is in the System menu), it launches but does not read ANYTHING from my
pressed, but if I boot to the installer or graphical installer, the pressed
works exactly as expected.

Details:
debian-installer-shorcut.desktop file is located:
config/includes.chroot/usr/share/applications/debian-installer-launcher.desk
top

debian-installer-launcher.desktop contents:

[Desktop Entry]

Version=1.0

Name=Install Lilypad Linux

Comment=Install this system permanently to your hard disk

Exec=su-to-root -X -c /usr/sbin/debian-installer-launcher

Icon=debian-installer-launcher

Type=Application

Categories=Application;System;

StartupNotify=true

Terminal=false



Preseed.cfg location:  config/includes.installer/preseed.cfg



Other location tried:

config/debian-installer/preseed.cfg

config/includes.debian-installer/preseed.cfg

config/includes.binary/preseed.cfg (then adding file=/preseed.cfg to boot
menu config)

When I boot to the livecd and search for the pressed, it is on the livecd,
but the desktop link ignores it completely.

config/includes.binary/install/preseed.cfg (then adding
file=/install/preseed.cfg to boot menu config)

When I boot to the livecd and search for the pressed, it is on the livecd,
but the desktop link ignores it completely.





I do hope someone has some ideas on what I can try next. I have even removed
all packages with the exception of desktop-base, and a dm\wm (tried various
combinations with no luck). Even with just the basics, I can not get the
pressed to be read when booted into the live session, and the desktop icon
has just stopped working.



Thanks all, and let me know if you need additional details.



Thanks.



Cheers!
