Strange, that wasn't my problem. I did not had to change my mkxf86config |
| 21 |
script. |

Because I thought it would not make sense, if you let catalyst create a |
| 42 |
user and the user does not automatically login. Because there is no |
| 43 |
(well known to me) to login as user without knowing the password. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Additionally I found this in a example specfile (bundled with catalyst) |
| 46 |
# If this is specified in your spec file, then the first user is also |
| 47 |
the user |
| 48 |
# used to start X. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
Maybe everybody can interpret it in his own way, but my interpretion was |
| 51 |
that X gets automatically started by this user -> autologin |

Thanks for your information. In future I won't mail to the list if there |
| 64 |
is *any* way i know to fix my issue. I've fixed it by an root-overlay |
| 65 |
now (see above) |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
But: dont you think it makes sense on a xlivecd to log the user |
| 68 |
automatically in? just my opinion |
| 69 |
|
| 70 |
I do not want to argue with you, but I can't imagine that anyone wants a |
| 71 |
xlivecd to do not login automatically if there is a user. |

PS: sorry for my corrupted english. |
