Thanks, Suvayu! 

I was able to do the above with my LiveCD. However, my nm-applet
(started as liveuser) does not have the ability to connect. I get:

** (nm-applet:1420): WARNING **:Failed to add/activate connection: Not
authorized to control networking

What I am trying to achieve is a non-DE system but one with a window
manager. Perhaps more than that, how a novice can build a
LiveCD....Though I guess all this is proving that one needs to know
more than that...

My initscript is not that different from the one on LiveCD. But
clearly, I am dropping stuff I should not. I will just include the
two .ks files with this e-mail (perhaps they will make it through.)

Btw, my LiveCD does have X. It does not have a DE. (Separately, where
do I find a minimal Live distribution? I always have installed using
the boot.iso.)

Anyway, thanks again for all the continuing help!

Best wishes,
Ranjan
