I suppose I should remove the screenshot tool from the live session.  I 
do not want to include another program and risk it growing too much.  
I'd rather slim the live session a bit than have to scrape and skimp to 
get it the right size.  Currently I can do it reasonably well, and don't 
want to ADD anything else, unless it is extremely needed.
plus I can do these simple changes without having to really rebuild 
everything, I can do the quick mkISO script after editing the chroot 
filesystem manually

The shutdown issue can be easily fixed.  I refreshed the jwmrc for the 
live session and forgot to remove jwm-settings-manager --halt from that 
entry.

Very easy to fix. I will use:
torios-shutown || systemctl poweroff || shutdown -h now
Which is basically what the shutdown desktop icon has

I tested torios-shutdown in it earlier today and that worked well in 
that ISO.

Thanks for testing that item still, I haven't tested it in a while, but 
I am glad to know for sure that it still works (it hasn't changed in a 
long while)

The terminal is set to Sakura's default settings in the installed system.
we use xterm in the live system, so it uses the bashrc file nicely.
Sakura is a small tabbed terminal so that is the main reason we include 
it in the installed system, because really that is where you need it most.

Yeah these are really simple things to fix, and will take very little 
time to do.
