xlivecd does not login automatically

hi,

my LiveCD does not login automatically. I can only login by
booting it 
with "nox", change user's password, start
mkxf86config and gdm and 
login. This is a working workaround, but not nice.

Please help. thx

Bye

We do autologin via a customized kdmrc file, but it doesn't
work currently, 
because xdm is started before mkxf86config.
/etc/init.d/xdm restart
starts X with autologin then.
I guess the problem is a missing 'before xdm'
in /etc/init.d/mkxf86config,
although that seems to be in the latest livecd-tools
versions.
Will have to work on that...

Ciao,
Andreas
