Re: [cooking] various boot modes, successes and failures

I've just tested the core.iso in from the undigest repo -- and it
still doesn't work after install.
This is the same problem as before, the config files being copied to
/home, instead of /home/$USER --
and with the same chown errors.  Looking at tazx, it seems the cause
is the same, the line:
     USER=`cat /etc/passwd | grep 1000 | cut -d ":" -f 1`
Gokhlayeh suggests a wrapper for adduser, which makes sense in many
ways, as both tazx and tazctrl box have to be run,
otherwise -- but using the iso to upgrade a system with a persistent
home, or just using tazx, still needs to handle multiple users.

Although Slitaz is a wonderful LiveCD, it's also good as a VM or on
old machines --
and just about all of the problems I see on IRC are on installed images.
Please, let's also test the isos installed before releasing...

Also, udev/xorg still have problems - fixing this should be a priority
before the next stable release.
I will work on trying to get udev to not fail on an installed version
and, hopefully, this will fix the xorg issue.
