Like I was saying, it was an easy install, on booting

got bad, the installer had not made user jimmy, there was only a choice
for root or user, I logged in as root and found user jimmy was in fact
not made so I made user jimmy using kuser only to get errors while
trying to login, also the installer did not setup my network card, I
checked /etc/network and the config file looked good but running 'ifdown
eth0 && ifup eth0" I would get no network found. Then I decided to go
take a nap. :-)
What could I have done to have a more successful install?
Thanks for testing Jimmy. I found a typo in the installer script and one
file to remove in /etc. Consequently it fails to make the new user. It's
all because of the move from live-initramfs to live-boot.
Will upload a fixed ISO later.
In the meantime, here is a quick fix (do this in the live session before
running the installer):
In a konsole (one line at a time):
sudo su
sed -i 's/1002/1000/'g /usr/bin/remastersys-installer
rm -f /etc/live.conf
You could copy this text to a pen drive to quickly transfer it to a live
session. I tested the fix on a new install and it worked.
The installer uses grub-gfxboot (grug-legacy) not grub2. It would be
better first-off to install grub to partition and chainload it from your
current main OS. You can "upgrade" to grub2 post-install if wanted.
