Wireless or wired?
I have no trouble getting wireless to work after I installed on a
computer...
on the wired I had to change it

to fix:
run ifconfig and looking for your eth/X/ device it should be eth1 or
eth0.... then simply change that in the wicd (wireless icon up top )
Preferences.

I will look into this issue more, to see if wicd is installing
configuration files when I build the chroot that mess with this... we
had the same issue when I built it from the mini iso as well...

I will also look into /etc/network/interfaces to make sure there isn't
anything written in there... though it boots quickly, so it shouldn't. 
Usually the installed system will boot extremely slowly because it it
'trying to resolve network' for ever... but... anyhow I will check it out.

I know, I need to fully understand how update-alternatives will force
seamonkey to be default.

there is... it just doesn't get hooked up right :(  but the fstab file
should fix this issue fully

You can.... there are keywords you can type in :)  Secret keywords*
However I need to edit the slim.conf to use dbus calls rather than the
sudo shutdown -h now command and reboot

probably a pkexec issue... sorry.. I may simply remove that :)

sorry it does work... but only from the terminal... there is no GUI
handler yet for pkexec.... sorry

Yep, I have been thinking about the best way to do this... I will most
likely make a zenity script... because there are specific files in
/home/torios that need to migrate to the new users account... most
notably the jwmrc file and some of the X related files.

again.. this is due to pkexec.... sorry I will have to address this
issue... I have been focused on the installer lately..  I will look into
what program provides pkexec and presents the user with the password box

      Shutdown, reboot, suspend, exit, launch terminal from SLiM

You may shutdown, reboot, suspend, exit or even launch a terminal from
the SLiM login screen. To do so, use the values in the username field,
and the root password in the password field:

  * To launch a terminal, enter *console* as the username (defaults to
    xterm which must be installed separately... edit |/etc/slim.conf| to
    change terminal preference)
  * For shutdown, enter *halt* as the username
  * For reboot, enter *reboot* as the username
  * To exit to bash, enter *exit* as the username
  * For suspend, enter *suspend* as the username. Suspend is disabled by
    default, edit |/etc/slim.conf| as root to uncomment the
    |suspend_cmd| line and, if necessary, modify the suspend command
    itself (by e.g. changing |/usr/sbin/suspend| to |sudo
    /usr/sbin/pm-suspend|).
