Hi all,
I fixed the network manager issue (finally) and rebuilt the base and the 
ISO and I rebuilt the ISO it is now 688MiB
So it is still CD sized...  building the ISO at this stage is rather 
precarious and somewhat of a mysterious art.
For example, if I delete the cache of debs the ISO will be 688MiB, 
however if I leave it the ISO will be 715MiB... no idea what is going on 
there... but it is small and *should* work.
I have NOT tested this exact image, though I tested an earlier one, and 
all I changed in this one is the .jwmrc file.  I have to modify it 
'manually' to have the correct Buttons which I also manually add, and a 
few other things.

Anyhow I had to rebuild it a few times today, and I did some other tests.
I ran it in virt-manager (aka virtual machine manager) in 128MB ram.  I 
found that the OS loaded well.  I also ran it on some hardware and found 
that 256MB + RAM is probably the optimal amount of RAM for the best 
experience, this is due to the compression we use... though less RAM and 
a swap partition should work fine... As in the installer process we make 
a SWAP partition and activate it before decompression.

If anyone has a system with 128MB ram and wants to test it please do.  I 
have a system that I think I can get down to 128MB RAM, but I am not 
sure it may only have 256 modules.....  I don't remember right now.

I will e-mail when it is relinked which should be in about one hour +/- 
depending on the rsync speedup I get.  Sometimes it is extremely fast...
It is always much faster than the normal 3+ hours
