2015-02-16 Thread Daniel Dickinson (SysAdmin)
Ok, I had a system crash but I was able to find the configs I used for this. It only applies to sysvinit in the form I did it. I modifed the file lib/live/config/0170-sysvinit so that it has the following: In function Configure_sysvinit: # Configure autologin sed -i -e "s|^\([^:]*:[^:]*[^:]*\

I have finally got things calmed down I ought to be able to make time sometime in the next two weeks to work on this and do some personal live image stuff (i.e. actually use live-build). I also plan on further investigating the apt thing that causes 'suggests' to end up in the image - from what I
