Hi everyone,
I have been doing some work to try to shrink the ISO as well as fix 
minor bugs, and make the system run using less memory.

Here are the major changes I have introduced:
torios-installer is now a traybutton (yad is not running in the background)
This will save a bit of memory, and provide the same nice functionality.
There is a minor issue where I have a menu item that doesn't yet work...
However, this should be fixed in the update.

I rebuilt and uploaded a version already... This one is not current, though.
I will be rebuilding one soon, and this will contain all the latest 
fixes and updates.

I think the grub installer showing the live drive is fixed.

I also added a check, in case the firmware folder is not existant.
This is a bit uneeded at this point, but it might come in handy if we 
need to remove the firmware debs to make the ISO CD sized.
It would be worth having a small 14(ish) MB download in order to make 
the ISO CD sized.  However I removed the deprecated .mozilla directory 
from the /etc/skel (we are not using seamonkey any longer) and I have 
also removed it from the live ISO.
This *might* just get us the extra space we need to get back down to ISO 
size.
I am quite surprised at how small this is, considering Ubuntu has just 
bumped their size limit considerably.

So, feel free to test the ISO, but please update obi-installer before 
you test anything!  Otherwise I should have an ISO available sometime soon.
