Hi Simon,
I had to look it up myself how I did it on the SL miniLiveCD. The
important parts are in the files mini-livecd.sh and
customize/livecd-autologin.
Possibly that's not the easiest solution, but it seems to work.
In short: At the end of the LiveCD booting the script customize/runlast
is executed as /etc/rc.d/init.d/runlast. In case of the miniLiveCD
runlast calls the script livecd-autologin, which enables auto login for
the local user and creates the files ~./xinitrc and ~/.xsession for the
local user where icewm-session is started for him.
It may works, if you write something like the following at the very end
of customize/runlast:
### variable LOCALUSER should be known by runlast,
### default is sluser
STARTSESSION="icewm-session"
LOCALUSER_HOME=$(grep "^${LOCALUSER}:" /etc/passwd | cut -d":" -f6)
### create .xinitrc for LOCALUSER
XINITRC=$LOCALUSER_HOME/.xinitrc
echo "[ -x ~/autostart ] && ~/autostart" > $XINITRC
echo "exec $STARTSESSION" >> $XINITRC
chmod 755 $XINITRC
### link .xsession to .xinitrc
ln -sf .xinitrc $LOCALUSER_HOME/.xsession
On the SL minLiveCD no login manager (kdm, gdm, xdm) is installed.
That's the reason why I did it over ~/.xinitrc. If you have a login
manager installed, maybe this does not work or there is a much easier
way to set icewm as default.
Cheers,
Urs
