Yes there are work arounds, but this bug should be fixed, rather than
hacky work arounds.

Yes, this is a good idea.

Of course using OBI requires building your own ISO... so it is a bit
more complicated.
I think it might be good to adapt the ISOmaker scripts to use a text
file to contain all the apps to install.. what do you think?

for OBI.  Of course you can make your own OBI PPA so users don't get
ToriOS stuff in their apt sources.  I want to eventually add all the
separate PPAs into the ToriOS PPA
