No.

Thanks for finding that silly bug at this early stage! There were other
instances too. I'll soon upload a corrected version.

0. The fixes I have done are in the linux-tools/torios directory at
Phill's server.

1. Maybe we should consider how to *unmount drives*, that are not in
use, so that the OBI does not see them as occupied.

I think ztweaks can be useful whenever people want to switch between
languages in simple systems. The keyboard language switch is probably
working 'in every linux distro and flavour'.

The touchpad manager works only in simpler systems. At least newer
versions of standard Ubuntu and Kubuntu override the commands synclient
and syndaemon, that are used in ztweaks, so it does not work.

So I think zTweaks is useful in ToriOS live and installed. I will use it
also in Lubuntu and LXLE - when installed - but won't bother in the live
version, because I can use the crude commands setxkbmap, synclient and
syndaemon.

The structure is such that it should be fairly easy to add other user
tweaks, that might be useful. Would you suggest some tweak, that can be
done with command line tools. (An example might be the screen resolution
using xrandr, if people want anything but the highest resolution, but
there is already arandr.)
