Yeah, though you could do some crazy packaging stuff, if you really tried

We can do it by ids, that makes it easier for the user.  I was thinking
in programming terms... but user terms is a much better way to think of
that :)

I do not know whether or not we should automount everything, or how to
NOT automount everything if we already do...

Yeah, my tweak does roughly the same thing... it might be nice to add
that.  There are certain touchpads that have broken buttons, or only one
button... so it is nice to have more configurations.

I updated obi today.  I updated user-config quite a bit...
I made it much more general.  I check to see if a program is installed
in the tarball before trying to run it.
If it isn't they can contact the tarball maintainer (there is a message
for this)
I also removed the jwmrc part, and just added it to skel (the ~/.jwmrc~
file)

I also check for lightdm being installed, and then ask the user if they
want to autologin.
If they do, I run this:

     AUTOLOGIN="[SeatDefaults]
greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter
autologin-user=$NEWUSER
user-session=torios"

      chroot /mnt  bash -c "echo -e \"${AUTOLOGIN}\" | tee
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf"
      echoout "Autologin for $NEWUSER."

for those unfamiliar with user-config echoout is a function that echo
the content to the install log as well as the screen.

As a side note, it might be nice to copy the successful install log to
the new user's $HOME, or simply ask if they want to view it after
installing.

I will be testing this and then I will upload a new ISO for testing it
all goes well.
The new ISO has update-manager on it... but I still need to update the
baseOS a bit more before I can say this is our RC.  A few minor things
here and there...
