+````bash
+shopt -s failglob        # If set, patterns that fail to match filenames during filename expansion result in an expansion error.
+shopt -s inherit_errexit # If set, command substitution inherits the value of the errexit option instead of unsetting it in the

 * **Rationale**: These options enforce strict error checking and handling, reducing silent failures and ensuring 
 predictable script behavior.
 
 # 4. Prerequisites
 
-* **Host**: Debian Bookworm or newer with `live-build` package installed.
+* **Host**: Debian Trixie with `live-build` and ``debootstrap`` packages installed.
 * **Privileges**: Root or sudo access to execute `ciss_live_builder.sh` and related scripts.
 * **Network**: Outbound access to Debian repositories and PTB NTPsec pool.

+#   MAIL_DIR takes precedence.
+#
+#   Essentially:
+#      - MAIL_DIR defines the location of users mail spool files
+#        (for mbox use) by appending the username to MAIL_DIR as defined
+#        below.
+#      - MAIL_FILE defines the location of the users mail spool files as the
+#        fully-qualified filename obtained by prepending the user home
+#        directory before $MAIL_FILE
+#
+# NOTE: This is no more used for setting up users MAIL environment variable
+#       which is, starting from shadow 4.0.12-1 in Debian, entirely the
+#       job of the pam_mail PAM modules
+#       See default PAM configuration files provided for
+#       login, su, etc.

+# 2. Hardened Kernel Boot Parameters
+
+Below is a curated set of kernel boot parameters optimized for CISS Debian Installer. These parameters enhance security posture,
+restrict legacy interfaces, enforce memory initialization, and disable speculative side channels. Each parameter is documented 
+with a short rationale.
+
+* ``audit=1``: Enable kernel auditing subsystem.
+* ``audit_backlog_limit=8192``: Set audit event buffer depth.
+* ``cfi=kcfi``: Enable Clang's Control Flow Integrity (if supported by kernel).
+* ``debugfs=off``: Disable debugfs mount, prevents access to kernel internals.
+* ``efi=disable_early_pci_dma``: Prevent early PCI DMA via EFI.
+* ``hardened_usercopy=1``: Harden copy_*_user() functions, mitigate heap/memcpy bugs.
+* ``ia32_emulation=0``: Disable 32-bit x86 binary support on 64-bit kernel.
+* ``init_on_alloc=1``: Zero-initialize heap memory on allocation.
+* ``init_on_free=1``: Zero memory on free to prevent reuse data leaks.
+* ``iommu=force``: Enforce use of IOMMU.
+* ``iommu.strict=1``: Enable strict IOMMU mode (always remap).
+* ``iommu.passthrough=0``: Prevent IOMMU passthrough (forces remapping).
+* ``kfence.sample_interval=100``: Enable low-overhead heap-fence sampling.
+* ``kvm.nx_huge_pages=force``: Enforce NX-bit for KVM hugepages to prevent code execution.
+* ``l1d_flush=on``: Flush L1D cache on VM-entry to mitigate cache side-channels.
+* ``lockdown=confidentiality``: Enable kernel lockdown in confidentiality mode.
+* ``loglevel=0``: Silence all kernel messages (only EMERG shown).
+* ``mitigations=auto,nosmt``: Enable all available speculative mitigations, disable SMT.
+* ``mmio_stale_data=full,force,nosmt``: Mitigate MMIO stale data side channel fully.
+* ``nosmt=force``: Force disable Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT/HT).
+* ``oops=panic``: Trigger kernel panic on oops, ensures halt on fault.
+* ``page_alloc.shuffle=1``: Randomize page allocator freelist order.
+* ``page_poison=1``: Fill freed pages with poison patterns to detect UAF.
+* ``panic=-1``: Prevent automatic reboot after panic.
+* ``pti=on``: Enable Page Table Isolation (Meltdown mitigation).
+* ``random.trust_bootloader=off``: Do not trust RNG state from bootloader.
+* ``random.trust_cpu=off``: Do not trust CPU's RDRAND or RDSEED.
+* ``randomize_kstack_offset=on``: Enable randomized kernel stack offset per syscall.
+* ``randomize_va_space=2``: Enable full ASLR for mmap and heap.
+* ``retbleed=auto,nosmt``: Mitigate Retbleed exploit path via branch prediction.
+* ``rodata=on``: Enforce read-only sections for .rodata.
+* ``slab_nomerge``: Disable merging of similar slab caches.
+* ``vdso32=0``: Disable 32-bit vdso mapping (x86 compatibility).
+* ``vsyscall=none``: Disable vsyscall legacy mapping.
