I have the exact problem building ArtistX (Sid repositories). What should happen using the LH_DEBIAN_INSTALLER=live option? Should we see a Install button on the desktop? Following my last mail I verified that a clean build (only added to a gnome-core base iceweasel and icedove) won't boot into X except under Vmware, VirtualBox or other virtualization software. On physical computers I get an [EMAIL PROTECTED] prompt and only a startx or sudo gdm will start Gnome. Any other experiencing this? I will try on Testing today and let you know if this is Sid-related.
