I assume you are putting these files on the CD using root_overlay. I just ran into the same problem last night. When catalyst copies the files into the chroot, it copies them with the same permissions. You have two options: 1) 'chown -R 1000:users' the stuff in the root_overlay dir (the first user created in the chroot will have the uid 1000), or 2) run 'chown -R youruser:users /home/youruser' in a fsscript. -- Andrew Gaffney http://dev.gentoo.org/~agaffney/ Gentoo Linux Developer Installer Project -- gentoo-catalyst@gentoo.org mailing list
