Hi,
As said in my previous message about this wishlist bug report, I was
working on a version for login as a user. The solution I have used is
quite ugly, but nonetheless, I shamelessly publish it here.
Unfortunately I have not been able to put the /usr directory in the
ramdisk: it is too small. And I have not found where its size was
decided in dfsbuild source code.
Best regards,
Frederic Lehobey

# Inspired from the dfs.cfg config file originally written by John
# Goerzen for Debian From Scratch this xdfs-user.cfg config file provides
# some support for X and autologin as xdfs-user.
#
# Below are some remainder of capabilities and limitations of the
# syntax of this configuration file (see package
# libmissinglib-ocaml-dev). Remember them when writing you own
# additions.
#
# = and : are separators for options like:
#
# name : value or name = value
#
# and
#
# /file/path = body or /file/path : body
#
# The consequence is that no ":" nor "=" can be put in a file body
# excepted on the first line (after the first separator = or :).
# The workaround used here is to put all the lines with an "=" or a
# ":" on the first line. Like:
#
# /etc/environment = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
#
# It is not always possible... (I have not found a way for menu files).
#
# The option name is, by standard, always turned to lower case. It
# means files or directories like /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 with capital
# letters cannot be created or modified (see /root/.profile for some
# ugly workaround).
#
# Only text can put into touched config files (only owned by root).
# Changing file modes from this config file or moving random binary
# file is not supported by the version of dfsbuild (0.6.19) I have used.
#
# The "#" (followed with at least an other character like a white
# space otherwise it breaks the parsing) is the beginning of a comment
# for this file. It cannot be used inside the body of an option (see
# Debian bug #278484). It means your modified config files inside the
# target will not inherit new comments from here.
#
# Have fun. dfsbuild is a very nice tool (do not forget it must be
# run as root).
