Nio, it is installed via the ubuntu meta packages I use to build the ISO.
The issue (I think) is doing a no recommends install (which makes it
much smaller)
I will add these lines to the script to build the ISO and see if this
fixes it...
I am not sure what I tried before, but if this works in the live
session, it might work well in the build scripts

they are in the new ISO

Mostly jwm-settinge manager

It didn't upload the entire file...  And was WAY too large for CD if I had.

I used it earlier (for this current image) and it worked wonderfully!!

A newer version should be in this ISO...

Yeah, I try to push things quickly and sometimes you fix things even
quicker :)
We will have a much easier time with ToriOS 2.0, as all this groundwork
will be laid... just a simple change to using Trusty (I hope)

Yes!  Remember you can also use the PPA if it is easier, as I try to
make it independant and flexible.  OBI gets the OS name (in the menus)
from the tarball name, and I have tried to generalize things to make
everything easier... though it is mostly an Ubuntu ONLY tool right now
(no time for porting to yum/pacman/etc...)

Yeah, think about my proposals as a sketch to get an idea... you are
very adept and quite genius with shell scripting.  You have a very good
logic about forming ideas into solid programs, and know bash more in
depth than I (I only took it up less than a year ago, remember?).  I
trust your programming decisions in bash very strongly, so I also trust
your motivation and coding practices with select-part2 will be very good.
