how to not including previous home user

Asked by jfdesign

Hi !

I really like relinux because of the simplicity and it just works.
It even successfully rebuild remaster using 3.0.2-6-generic-pae on 12.04, i do just for fun. :D
Thank you for your work :D

One thing in mind, i want to not including the previous user so it doesn't show up as home_1 on live session
Here is what i do :
- install 11.10
- create a user name user and configure system so it satisfy my needs (include copying some personal settings to /etc/skel)
- editing relinux.conf with LIVENAME="user" and LIVEUSER="user"
- remaster system with relinux : relinux iso /etc/relinux/relinux.conf
- then try the results on vm.

all works good as i expected, but ...
at the root folder there is a folder named : /home_1/user besides the live session user itself on /home/user

How can I not including the previous user so it does not show up on the live session as /home_1/user ???
am i doing it wrong ?

thank you in advance.

cheers

Are you sure that you didn't have a /home_1 on the HD that made the ISO?

Hi Joel,

yes, i'm pretty sure it wasn't there because I always start with fresh
installation.
it looks like my default user home before remaster was rename to
/home_1/user because i can see my personal docs on Documents folder is on
/home_1/user/Documents on live session.
the relinux rename my /home/user to /home_1/user and create new user "user"
am i have to userdel before remaster ?

if you don't mind, could you please write your steps you doin there to
create a remaster so the live remaster doesn't have /home_1 folder ?
thank you in advance.

So you have the same problem using 11.10 and 12.04 as the basis of remastering?

Hi Joel,

yes, the same problem is happening on both 11.10 and 12.04
when i make remastering, there always /home_1 and /tmp_1 on the result livecd

my question is, how the exact step to remastering, so relinux doesn't produce /home_1 and /tmp_1 on the result livecd.

oh btw, happy new year :D

I've figured out the fix, but we are having major problems with other things. We may have to stop relinux, and start a new project (same idea, completely different codebase).
I'm sorry about this huge delay.

Thanks. It's going to be much faster than relinux, and it's going to have all (and more) of the features planned for 0.4.
