Hi Nio,

After some testing there is some sort of issue running the setup with
nodm (the thing that logs us in automatically) and text-mode-menu.

It may take me some serious experimentation to figure out how to work
those things out.

That said I am trying out a version without the text-mode-menu

It is considerably smaller, but still not the right size (775 MiB) for a CD.

It is close, but still a bit to big, I will do some tests to check
things and if all goes well I will upload a new ISO soon.

I have reworked a lot of the ISOmaker scripts recently to streamline the
process considerably (use common functions for *everything*) and make
the codebase much easier to maintain in the future.  Over the years I
have been refactoring OBI to do some similar stuff (mkp for the common
things in mkp*)  and I recently have switched to using sfdisk rather
than fdisk for this same reason, to eventually make a unified single
script for doing all the current mkp1,mkp2p1,mkpxpy, as well as other
custom setups (like a separate /home /boot, etc....) though this is
still a way off.

Thanks for your patience!
