That would be a huge help! OK, I'll do it with *xterm* (as per you other email). >> 3. *nano is borked* segmentation fault >> >> I removed and installed it with >> >> sudo apt-get remove nano >> sudo apt-get install nano >> >> and it started working.

Try by adding the two commands after the other things are installed (in the script to create the iso file) sudo apt-get remove nano sudo apt-get install nano >> 4. *Desktop settings* >> >> The desktop is black in the live session.

Yes, the wallpaper was there in the beginning, but it disappeared. I don't remember exactly when it disappeared, I tested a few things, but could not make it disappear again. Now (after a reboot in the same computer) it even works to change to the 9w background (82 kB). Remove it! You can also remove the big default.png file: Remove 9w-bg.png (81 k, not compressible) default.png (726 k, not compressible, way too much) and use either your background file with bamboo default.jpg (188 k) or default_1600x1200_character.png (30 k) or maybe default_1920x1200_character.png (30 k) if you think it will be used a lot with wide screens. echo $((81+726+188-30)) This way you can save 965 k (almost one MB) for more important things, and still be within CD size in the live system. Maybe you can do something similar in the tarball. >> 5. Description of OBI is on the desktop, but not the other two help >> texts (OBI-quick-start-manual.pdf and README.pdf).
