One more fix. If you disable sudo but don't change the user name, you'll still get the gksu sudo-mode edit now.

One of
a) installerz-debian.05
OR:
installerz-refracta.05
failed due to the "grep error" (i didn't choose to install /boot).
I couldn't figure it out yet, found a comment by you about that
(but in unliveinstaller-z02-r.sh; line 503 ?).

Aha.
I am running installerz-refracta.05 right now,
and that makes me pretty sure that the other installer was the installerz-debian.05.
I will report back if it will work. I guess yes.
Once that is done i can check the icewm-menu...

Yeah, use the installerz-refracta for refracta. The debian one is for a more standard debian-live, and there are a few differences. The debian version lets you create a root account and replaces /etc/inittab to disable auto-login, neither of which are needed for the latest refracta.
It shouldn't fail because of the grep errors. I looked at the line you mentioned. It's in the cleanup function, which unmounts everything two or three different ways each, just to be sure. I put the comments in there to remind myself that it might spit out errors. The newer version with the options list in the beginning can also spit out some grep errors. I'm pretty sure they can all be ignored.
In the last couple of hours, I've been organizing stuff to make the next version, trying to decide what to include or not. When we decide that the installer is unbreakable enough to include it, I'd like to ask you to roll it up into a deb file.
How's working out for time zones? I've had to run 'dpkg-reconfigure tzdata' a couple of times after installation. Was thinking of adding that to the installer or finding another way to deal with it. Any suggestions are welcome.

We already talked in IRC, but i like to store info in forums.

Ok, i did not know that. Good.

What shall i say? It did fail. I was too tired to know why. I simply reran it an hour later.
Might try the debian-installer again and try to re-create the error.

That sounds good. As soon it will be out i will make exact notes what i got to add
(i will go for hard-disk-installation, which is very different from VirtualBox. For me)
For the deb i am not sure if i am the right guy. Let me search for a link how-to create deb-packages from pure sh-files.
Like said i would put it in $HOME/bin and be done with it.
I might try it, though.

I usually use ntp.
To be honest: when it comes to live-CDs i am used to borked time-zones and keyboard-layout, so i for one can live with it.
