Hi everyone,
I have been working on fixing a few of the minor issues in the settings
manager.  It now is becoming more portable!  It will now use the user's
$PATH to check for the executables we are looking for.
I have also looked a little more at some of the sdesk stuff, and have
been talking with technosaurus (of Puppy fame : ) and may have a working
battery monitor soon... one that does not require a power manager.  It
is also written in C and is only a dozen or so KB when compiled.. so
this will be a huge gain for memory and usability (if all goes well). 
There is also some preliminary code in there for a wireless applet...
but I am not working on the program at all right now... just trying to
understand it so I can use it (and modify it for versions after 12.04
that do not use /proc/acpi/battery/BATT*  but rather use
/sys/class/whatever_it_is_i_am_tired)
It looks promising!

I still hope to get the ISO released this year :)  But I have been very
busy in non-digital world... and building the ISO and testing can take a
lot of time.  I also could not even boot the mini.iso on my old
computer... which is funny because ToriOS boots just fine.  Not sure why
mini would have problems... but hurray for ToriOS working well on old
computers!!!!!!!!!!!
