User Feedback :: adding users and groups to live CD
How can we add a new user and group to a live CD and make it permanent so that this user is always available eacgh time we bootup with this live CD?make sure the passwd and shadow and group files aren't symlinked to the ramdisk, /etc is unpackaged each time you boot.
then, you can user 'useradd' or some other form of user adding or removing (i prefer vipw)..this will modify those files (passwd/shadow) and possibly group...
then tell your filetool.lst to backup those files /etc/passwd /etc/shadow and when you reboot the users will be restored.
enjoy.

Thank you.
How do I make sure these symlinks to ramdisk exist? Can I change this behaviour? How?If you search the forum for shadow AND passwd you should find all the info you need. Other people are doing this with livecd and frugal.
