Hi Israel,

1. I will zsync the new iso file and test it :-)

2. I'm not sure when I will have time for the language setting issue.

3. Right now I'm busy with the development of the new mkusb (guidus) and 
environments for it to make it easier to move from Windows to linux.

Together with C.S.Cameron at the Ubuntu Forums I am testing stand-alone 
compressed image files, iso files and even self-extracting exe files for 
Windows with small systems. ToriOS might fit here too, either a live 
system without tarball, or the tarball converted to a compressed image 
file, ToriOS-x.x.img.xz

We have small 9w iso files, image files and self-extracting exe files 
with sizes 230-250 MiB, and we are considering torrents to make them 
easy to get even with slow or unstable internet connections.

Byt the way, the idea of a ToriOS live system without a tarball would 
solve a long lasting problem: to make sure that the íso file is within 
CD size. A tarball can be downloaded separately, and connected via some 
other media, for example a USB pendrive. This way it will also be 
straight-forward to provide different flavours of ToriOS - tarballs with 
different properties (and size will not longer be critical).

Best regards
Nio
