Hi Israel,

It appears I can build a working ToriOS ISO now. I built a Debian 
version again this time using the Debian daily this time, not the 
default Torios-Daily. As you know, I had problems.

Once I was running ToriOS on the live disk, I first ran:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

Both ran quite well. No problems. Everything was updated on the live 
disk; however, that is not the case post-installation. I'm unsure what 
happens there. Perhaps the operating system should do an automated 
update after install or perhaps tell the users to do this first.

Few things I noticed:

1. Firefox is from SourceForge. Perhaps we should alert the user when we 
use SourceForge packages.

2. Iceweasel will be "upgraded" to "Firefox" in a few months on Stable.

3. Iceweasel downloads too many localizations.

4. I noticed there are SourceForge repos in the source.list itself. Is 
there a better way of doing this? Again, we foresee or prevent malicious 
attacks this way.

5. It's likely that third-party repos may break when SHA-1 is phased out 
in a few weeks.

6. Restricted extras do not work on my side again, even after updating 
and upgrading the system twice.

Let me know if there's something I can do to help resolve these problems.
