Will it be possible in the future releases of make-live to choose on
the command line an alternative boot manager to isolinux, such as
grub?


yes, in a week or two.

Yes, I also like Grub more than Isolinux.

I don't know of any smarter way (suggestions welcome) but to:

  * chroot into the image (--hook bash),
  * launch firefox on your local display,
  * exit the chroot.

save the ~/.firefox directory for future use, so you could include it
with --include-chroot.

 not, someone on this m-l will correct me :-)

not that it is of any difference, but i would store them in a hook file :)

 Hello,

 What is the best way to save parameters from a GUI to the final ISO file?
 For example, firefox defaults to saving downloads to the desktop. I'd like
 to change it to Ask where to save files and have that setting saved in
 the final ISO file. I'd also like to have my custom firefox bookmarks in
 the final ISO file.

The best way is to add your modification to /etc/skel, but the easiest is 
probably launching your cd, customize it, then use the snapshot feature to 
build a squashfs out of /cow, then remaster oputting this squash on /casper 
dir on the iso.

It is not yet user friendly, I know, but it will became easier and easier in 
the future to do that.

Oups, forget it, I did not close some conf file I was watching. It now
works good.

Sorry for the noise...

 Hello,

 I've just installed the live package, and here is what I am getting with
 a simple make-live :

 # make-live
 E: install init

 (I am working on a testing dist.
 # make-live -v
 make-live, version 0.99.14 )

 What can I do ?

One could try with Xnest

Inside chroot

export DISPLAY=localhost:1

Outside

Xnest -ac :1

Look in the Debian Wiki here: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianLive/FAQ this
is the FAQ of the Debian Live project.

I just added the How to customize the KDE/GNOME...look?
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianLive/FAQ#head-7d03f9e08f54289930ba9f9ce2166488542988ab
which is based heavily on a mail on this list by Marcelo :-)

Big thanks to him, if he wants to add something here...
