This is most likely when seamonkey is installing... that one takes the
longest to download...
I may be able to use some sort of progress for it... but I do not really
know what to do about it right now.

I think I may have fixed this, but I haven't put this in the github repo
yet.
I will first tar up my current torios that I am testing things that
users normally do out on (flash, DVD, music, etc...)
Then I will reinstall the old mini that Nio provided and redo everything
from the script.
That is the beauty of the OBI... reinstalling a clean OS takes only a
few minutes from boot to reboot!!!

I agree here!  Once we get the glitches out it will be something we can
easily recommend for people.  I can also add a hook in for PPC to
download the current JWM debs (once I rebuild them after 2.3.0
officially comes out) and jwm-settings-manager (once I fix the current bugs)

I've decided to try linking them together with && to see if that
mitigates the need for another sudo... though, *sudo -v* is that dummy
command... it simply updates the credentials.

do you mean I need to edit the /etc/network/interfaces file to remove
all the extra junk that gets stuffed in there during the initial network
initialization?

I have also had to occasionally run
sudo dpkg-reconfigure network-manager
but I am not entirely sure if that has been needed after I added the
polkit rule for network-manager.
