Hey Nio,
I am having some issues linking the tarball (as you know)
My directory structure for building the ISO is

base=directory (containing the scripts, and desktop files, 9w folder etc...)
live_boot=build directory

base---->live_boot/toriOS-chroot/root/tarballs
                     |
                    \|/
                   image/live/tarballs/ToriOS.tar.xz

How do I link this correctly?
I am trying to use soft links, but I am unsure how to link it to be
linked inside the ISO
I do not know what I am missing... :(

I am still unsure why the internet is not working correctly... I added
the user to netdev... maybe I need to build from scratch again so it
configures everything correctly :)  Or maybe I am missing something
basic...  there is sooo much to keep in mind, thanks for being a friend
to help me in this Nio!!  You are indispensable!!
