I always recommend using livecd/type: generic-livecd, as this will |
| 9 |
automatically setup root's .bashrc to exec startx (once only). If you |
| 10 |
use livecd/users: foo, then the CD will auto-start X as user foo. |

As for the auto-login on the LiveCD, I just used "sed" to edit the |
| 13 |
gdm.conf via my fsscript. However, I highly recommend against using |
| 14 |
*any* livecd/type that begins with gentoo-* as they are known to be |
| 15 |
modified heavily between catalyst releases, as I add more defaults for |
| 16 |
specific Gentoo media. |

I'm sending this to the list, since there's no need to send questions |
| 19 |
like this to me directly, and also so others can see the answer. |
