Hi Israel,

Good catch :-)

I did not notice that it involved problems with sharing swap, but now 
that you tell us it is easy to understand. I'm ready to help testing, 
when you have something to test ... And I understand, that it may take 
time to get something that is good enough to release. I think the main 
problems are with the installer. The installed system (in the tarball) 
is pretty stable, if I understand things correctly. I hope this is the 
final bug-fix. I have a memory of problems also when I installed without 
any swap, but you have improved many things after that, so it may be no 
problem.

How easy would it be to move problematic chroot stuff to an automatic 
'firstrun' process after installation? That would be lighter and 
probably also better than using ubiquity as I do to create a user 
environment and 'finish' the installation.

*ToriOS-precise*

If we are in a hurry to publish something to a wider group of people, it 
will be possible to offer the previous version, that I created in 
November, and updated during these last days. There is a tarball for 
'my' old One Button Installer and a compressed image file for mkusb of 
ToriOS-precise (based on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS).

'ToriOS-trusty'

I ran 'do-release-upgrade' and got a Trusty version (upgraded to Ubuntu 
14.04 LTS). After a couple of fixes this version works fairly well too. 
But it is far from ready to be officially released, because it uses too 
much RAM (at least when tested in two laptops of mine).
