[Live-demo] FW: GeoNetwork and LiveDVD

[Cameron Shorter]

Simon,
I suspect we have a glitch in the ISO building process where the user id 
for "user" changes, and consequently is seen to be running as another 
user when running as a live dvd. So as a work around we should be making 
all scripts executable by all.

Also I don't really see the need to run with sudo as the installer script changes ownership of everything in /usr/lib/geonetwork to username user, group user - all of this makes me wonder whether wildintellect (Alex?) was running a version which did not contain these changes?

I assume launchhelp displays something helpful for the user before launching the start/stop scrips? Can someone point me at these?
