Not if you get all the chroot stuff right and then run the subsequent startx (that I neatly chopped out when trimming my reply). I so rarely use it this way though that I am not aware if there are any problems to doing it this way these days (last time I did stuff like this was probably while teaching a class based on 2.4 kernel distros..). > What I think would be really helpful would be a menu item (next to > the liveinst one) on the live images which does the same magic to > autodetect and mount /mnt/sysimage as the rescue disk does, but > from within the graphical live CD environment.
