thanks to y1b for inspiration!
- removed creation of .dat file by linuxrc. please use 'Porteus .dat manager' instead
- 'noeject' cheatcode has one additional feature when used together with copy2ram: prevents unmounting of booting partition
(please read /boot/chatcodes.txt for more detailed info)
- fixed 'load=' and 'noload=' cheatcodes which were conflicting in some cases (thanks to crashman for bug report)
- Ahau set all cheatcodes in alphabetical order (francois suggestion) - thanks for that.
- /boot/tools/TweakUAC.exe replaced with MyUAC by Blaze (thanks!)
- removed 'quiet splash=' cheatcodes from liloinst.sh as we dont use splash
- added user 'guest' to following groups: power and dialout
- added more info to the /001/opt/porteus-scripts/porteus_encrypter script. should be more user friendly now.
- 'Porteus module manager': fixed deactivation of modules
- removed all firmware which had no license attached, added atheros fw
- lzm2xzm: fixed convertions of folders with "lzm" in name
- porteus-usb.sh: calls lin_start_here.sh and not bootinst.sh at the end
- psinfo: added '-k' switch to lspci which shows kernel drivers used for pci hardware
- added licenses to /usr/doc for all non-free packages (ie: firmware, xvba-video)
- 'Porteus Module Tools' got various fixes: merged tgz and txz options, additional info is displayed after creating xzm from changes
- /002/usr/share/applications/cups.desktop: changed path to http://localhost:631/admin (thanks to wread)
- 'Porteus .dat manager': added info about "changes=" cheatcode and .dat containers
- /002/xf86-video-nouveau-git is downgraded to previous version as per Blaze's bug report
Remaining modules will be added shortly.
Happy testing!

##### KNOWN BUGS
When using guest account and suing, then opening kwrite via console, the occasional .ICE authority error occurs. kdesu should be used to prevent this but i would like to get rid of the problem if possible.
