Hi again Israel and hi Mélodie,

I did a second trial, reinstalling ToriOS-oem (from my oem tarball) and

1. Installed openbox
2. Prepared ToriOS-oem for the end user

and then rebooted.

It rebooted directly into an openbox session with the window to enter
user name and password :-)

The colours were not good, and I think some black text on black
background could not be seen (if I remember correctly it is text
concerning radio buttons to select encrypted home). This can probably be
fixed rather easily by someone who knows how to configure openbox
(Mélodie?). Otherwise it works. And I created a working user id with a
working home directory :-)

It used a little more than 100 MB when logged in directly. I guess
openbox and maybe ubiquity were still in RAM after the final
configuration. After rebooting the RAM usage was down at the good low
values again :-)

-o-

I have been waiting while ToriOS-beta2 was uploading ... and now it is
uploaded (and matches the md5sum in your mail, Israel).

Best regards
Nio
