I'm trying to customize Linux Mint livecd with these instruction (uck doesn't work for me).

What I want is to have more icons at its livecd user (/home/mint/Desktop) but I can't find /home/mint on the squashfs filesystem nor at the initrd fs.

The changes I make in /etc/skel do not apply either.

What am I missing? (I'm using a lxdm wm.)

I found it up, the livecd user is generated from the casper scripts residing inside - look for 10adduser in the initrd file (.gz or .lz compressed depending on the distro).

much much data is available at live-debian.

good luck
