I suggest that we hold off on any major changes to build scripts during
this 6.0 release. We already have a lot of changes we are dealing with,
due to switching base ubuntu version,and switching to openjdk.
If we a new build process is introducing lots of changes, I'd suggest
waiting till osgeo 6.5 before we apply it.

Thanks Hamish for the feedback.
Adding the user is easy.
Having the live disk to use this new user while running the "Try"
session is the tricky part... any ideas?
Thanks,
Angelos

This means that we have to do the following:
1. Create a branch in svn for this new method
2. Fix packages to not use "user"
3. Not place any files in /home/user but select another
folder instead
4. Refine the desktop in live mode (background image, etc)
better: fix the alternate build method to create a user called
"user" as a first step, and avoid a lot of mess. (keeping
multiple branches in sync is a total complete and utter PITA,
even with modern source management tools)
better2: almost all the scripts set USER_NAME at the start.
If we move that out into the master script, then it can be
changed in a single stroke or the alternate build method, also
avoiding a whole lot of mess (but I'm sure some would still
remain, e.g. finding all the hardcoded DB permissions and
altering the passwords.txt file)
=> avoid extra maintenance overheads at all costs<=
