Yes, and some configuration issues should be fixed. Has someone experience with 
JWM configs? Especially autostart (which isn't handled by 
/etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop files)

Included this, but I'm not happy with it on the long term. Could be better.

Included this, too. But currently there would be not automatic updates as 
there is no metapackage. Phill, do you need any help in this? What's about the 
Bodhi Linux team and their nonpae plan?

Now, I've opened a Git repo at Github. You can check it out at 
https://github.com/JoernSchoenyan/torios-livecd
 - if you're not experienced with Git, you can just download it as a .zip file. 
Have a look at livecd-script-chroot.sh were the fixes are.

Additionally, we should ASAP care about Plymouth theme and stuff - at least, if 
ToriOS wants to have an own "identity". But decisions should be made by Ali 
(hope you are healthier now :D ). Any volunteers on this?
