As for the user you could probably run a few chroot/utilities.
This is something I think would be good for Kadischi, the only downside is
the password would be known.
We should prompt for a user/password rather than providing a default
one. Kadischi could take a cmdline switch like --user=fedora
--md5-password='$1$MEUsTNg2$89lWdr/Hd1YFAIKBXPkD43'
or popup a dialog requesting a username and password.
The user could either be created at CD creationtime or boottime. The
only difference that I can see is if a creator wanted to stick special
files into the home directory (and didn't want to put them
in /etc/skel.)
And sometimes you don't want any users or passwords or you want a user
with a disabled password so we should be able to make that happen as
well.
