Comment (by hamish):

 I will go through them, but I think all of the ones in ~user/ are
 harmless.

 Unanswered question 1: does the live-iso set the USER account to own
 anything that is placed in /home/user/? I assume there must be a way to
 pre-seed files in there besides using /etc/skel/.

 Unanswered question 2: if you set the ownership to root.users and then
 chmod g+w that should be ok, right? As the users group will be statically
 set to GID 100 regardless of ISO user creation, and belonging to that
 group is by username in /etc/group, not by UID.


 > chmod a+xw

 try to avoid that if we can.
