I simply use your programs and add them into the package, and make the package install them.

Yes, I agree. we could mount in a way that is fairly common (using /media/device_name) we could make directories like /media/sdb1 to keep it simple > Yes this is a possibility.

My mouse/touchpad program makes heavy use of synaptics... it is actually a frontend to the terminal commands. It runs the terminal commands in the background and creates a small startup script.... oh I just found the bug in it :) I am not adding the shebang :P These are the most important ones to me: synclient TapButton1=0 TapButton2=3 TapButton3=2 ClickFinger1=1 ClickFinger2=3 ClickFinger3=0 This is fairly nice, the touchpad tap is off, but using 2 fingers is left click, and three fingers is middle click. Actually if you use the Mouse/Touchpad program in jwm-settings manager it creates a file called ~/.config/jsm-mouse that will have all the options listed with whatever you chose There is also a ~/.jsm-mouse that contains the output of synclient as well. So you could simply check these files to get your tweaks >>> So I think zTweaks is useful in ToriOS live and installed.

Oh yeah we can use a TTS (like festival or espeak, etc..) to do lots of stuff.
