Ok Ben. Thanks again. Right now I have just finished a working image using

Will start developing another one using squeeze with all your suggestions

Once again, thanks for everything in this.

way provided by your desktop environment to switch, as per the
live-config(7) man page

I have 2 main issues as regards the keyboard:
