Hi Israel,

The installed system:

The network is necessary before we can even start thinking about
installing anything, but you are aware of that problem ;-)

Shutdown and Reboot should work, now only Logout works.

Synaptic is good enough for me. What about the software centers that
already exist? Ubuntu Software Center, Lubuntu Software Center ... they
are probably available from the repos, and it is not a good idea to
re-invent the wheel. I guess the Ubuntu Software Center is more
complete. I don't know if it would add too much bloatware, it can be
tested. Maybe we can offer installation of it from the text menu and
from the graphical menu. Then it will not bloat the iso file.

Best regards
Nio
