Understood. I have much to do, also.

So far from the MiniMe draklive-install file, I have found this:

Lines 344 to 349 -

require services;
services::start_service_on_boot("dkms");
services::start_service_on_boot("anacron");
services::start_service_on_boot("atd");
services::start_service_on_boot("crond");
services::start_service_on_boot("syslog");

This would be the "# enable back some disabled services" part.

Line 306 -

system("chroot $in->{prefix} touch /etc/delete-guest-account");

For keeping the guest account.

For "# Setup for root password and create new user at 1st boot" I'm going to do a bit more investigating. But I think it is lines 391 to 400 that need to be commented. I'm not certain of this, so it will probably be better to wait to see what more can be learned.

There's another file, Install-Interactive, that bears some investigation.

Agreed. Thanks again for this research.

Cheers, Mélodie.

I can use MiniMe as a live CD only. I can't get it to boot after installation. I can't test to check this out. I wish I could, so I could give you a definitive yes or no answer on that third section.
If you're willing, go ahead and comment out those lines (391 to 400), with the others and see if it works.

Hi, what's the final lines after it hangs at boot ? (does it look for scsi or else ?) Is it a machine where PCLOS runs ok ?

[Neal]

2009.1 runs fine on it. The MiniMe live CD will boot up and work fine, except there's no internet connection. After installation, booting fails almost immediately. I don't remember at which point. I'll need to reinstall it and check.

I tried booting the live CD in virtualbox, but the message that there is no system available pops up immediately.

That happens almost all the time, just need to be mounted : in the menu of the same windows, try to go to "peripherals>Insert Optical disk> choose yours"

when I write "choose yours" I mean that you will meets with the choice to mount a live CD from the cdrom drive or an iso image.

[Neal]

I'll give it another try. Thank you.

[melodie]

I'll give it another try. Thank you.

Hi, I should have given you a few more details as a matter of face.

Once done as I explained above, you will have then to go to the menu at the left of the windows, and just choose "restart". (Live or not live, you are aware that you need to create a virtuel disk to be able to boot the live iso or live CD ?)

[Neal]

Yes, of course. My other iso's boot fine in vb.

[melodie]

Yes, of course. My other iso's boot fine in vb.

Would it only be MiniMe that doesn't ? If so did you happen to check it's hash ?

[Neal]

MD5 checked out perfectly.

[melodie]

So, is the iso of MiniMe functioning correctly in Virtualbox now ?
