LiveCD require root password to install

[Danishka Navin]

I have tested a fedora remix with XFCE.

could not install it to the system as it require the root password.

PREFERRED=/usr/bin/startxfce4

mkdir -p /root/.config/xfce4

cat > /root/.config/xfce4/helpers.rc <<EOF

cat >> /etc/rc.d/init.d/livesys << EOF

mkdir -p /home/liveuser/.config/xfce4

cat > /home/liveuser/.config/xfce4/helpers.rc << FOE

cp /usr/share/applications/liveinst.desktop /home/user/Desktop

# this goes at the end after all other changes.
chown -R user:user /home/user
restorecon -R /home/user

What changes constitute the Remix? Is all you changed in the %post snippet
you pasted along with your message?

Do you realize there's a mismatch between "liveuser" and "user" in that

You might have to build the image in permissive mode.
See if bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=538496 applies to you.
