Got rid of those 3 path errors, but still boots to blackscreen rather than gui.
EDIT:
It works however with manualy booting to init 3, and then go init 5, but not straight.
Been there before, right after it stoped booting directly to init 5.
EDIT2:
Ah yeah, the initial KS looks like:
Code:

# To recieve a working rawhide live spin, you must build it on a rawhide host!

The first 6 builds, were just from "ks/008-..." down to "ks/999-...", now eventhough i've already figured there that it was "ks/022-...", i've had to build all options to make sure no other kickstart file interfere[ds].
After i made sure its only the 022 file, i've tried diffrent combinations for the scripts, and tried diffrent settings of each script, until i was sure the post-skel.sh script was the real trigger whether or not i could boot to gui from the built image.
I just cant think of a reason, specialy since it once worked, why the copy of files into /etc/skel would stop the GUI from loading...
Could someone please shed some light on this please?

So after googling not for errors but for "how it's done", i found that many copy the 'skel' files inside the "%post --nochroot" section...
So i've appended that after copy the files to chroot's /root/spin_files.
Snippet from within %post --nochroot:
Code:
#
# Copy requires kickstarts files to the image's /root/spin_file
#
# Prepare subfolder to be copied to /root/spin_files
# '$dir_target' beeing /root/spin_files/skel
cd "${prjs}"
pwd
sleep 3
cp -fr * $dir_target
cp -fr .[a-zA-Z]* $dir_target
# Copy from /root/spin_files/skel to /etc/skelcp -fr $(cd $dir_target;find) $INSTALL_ROOT/etc/skel
Upon successfull build (quite inadequat) it still doesnt boot to gui, files are copied.
On the first build with this change, i've accidently just copied the folder 'spin_files' to skel (as in /etc/skel/spin_files, THAT booted fine to GUI.
So i'm back to... if i copy files to the skel dir, i cannot boot to gui.
Which to me denies the goal of this live image.
In Unix, is there any way in which I can create a GUI like Realplayer? I mean the Windows Look & Feel.
