Just disable GDM's autologin. I think there's an app in the menu. Otherwise I think you can also edit /etc/gdm/custom.conf.mimosa wrote:Another thing is that I currently have two users (one, with no password, and a new one with a password). I just got logged straight in to 'one'. Not sure if this happens every time; I also vaguely remember it from the past. I imagine it would be cured by either creating a password for one or deleting it. Still, ideally, if there is more than one user, you should get to choose which one to log in as.
There can be no cheatcode in the LiveCD to load the LiveCD when the LiveCD or its bootloader are not yet loaded.mimosa wrote: So, some sort of cheatcode or menu option to boot off an .iso on hard disk would probably be useful especially for less experienced users.
But I recommend this solution:
- Install grub2 1.99 on your Salix system like this:
Shador wrote:Now you just load /boot/grub/core-linux.img with any bootloader as a linux image (16bit linux boot protocol, i.e. linux16 with grub2) or load the core.img as multiboot kernel.
Code: Select all
# grub-install --grub-setup=/bin/true /dev/sda # cat /boot/grub/{lnxboot.img,core.img} > /boot/grub/core-linux.img
- To load the grub2 core-linux.img from LILO put this into your lilo.conf:
Code: Select all
image = /boot/grub/core-linux.img label = Grub2
- Run lilo -v as root to reflect changes.
- Now put this entry into your /etc/grub.d/40_custom file:
Change iso_path as needed. No partition/drive information needed, just the path in that partition.Shador wrote:Code: Select all
menuentry "Salix Live" { iso_path=/salixlive-xfce-13.37-32-rc1.iso export iso_path search --set --file $iso_path loopback loop $iso_path root=(loop) configfile /boot/grub/loopback.cfg }
Possibly add more such entries for other LiveCDs with a loopback.cfg. - Finally run update-grub to create a /boot/grub/grub.cfg, which contains the data in a format grub2 can use during bootup.
- Upon reboot select Grub2 inside LILO and Salix Live inside Grub2.
