Hi Israel, 1. I'm looking forward to the new version, when you feel ready to upload it :-) 2. Maybe you can use the new zmktbl and make a tarball of the system where you make the iso file. Upload it for me to download and install in my testing computer - and I can try to make nano work. I guess it would not work, if it is integrated in your production environment - then it would be too big, and there would be many private things involved too - but it should work, if it is somehow separated. Otherwise, maybe you can make a tarball of the relevant directory tree only, and I can install it and add to my system whatever you think I should add.
