Slowly started working on next Porteus relese

- raised SLEEP= value in linuxrc from 5 to 6 which gives total of 12sec for searching for sgn file and 6 sec for other locations (changes, extra mods, rootcopy)
- 'delay=' cheatcode should be necessary only in really rare cases
- new cheatcode: kmap= to load desired keymap straight after boot
- added 'chmod 1777 /dev/shm' to rc.S
- removed clearing of .pid files from rc.6 (linuxrc does it when changes are discovered)
- tweaked activate scripts once again: added 'update-desktop-database' for LXDE and removed 'update-shared-mime-info'
- fixed "ntfs mount with additional options" bug in LST
- disabled nepomuk service completely: less I/O on pendrive when user is saving changes
- added vmware DDX driver
- merged docs by Ahau
- added "OnlyShowIn=LXDE" to LST (need to add in 32bits too)
- tweaked ~/.bashrc: added coloured shell prompts and alias for MC to exit to currently working dir
- added graphical menu for PXE boot (the same scheme as syslinux has): http://oi52.tinypic.com/o5qhk3.jpg
- added support for saving kbd settings for both: root and guest in LST
- set qmmp default mixer to MASTER
- integrated info from porteus-livedbg in 'psinfo'
- changed 'su' alias in /home/guest/.bashrc to 'su -l -p' which lets stay in currently working dir after switching to super user account
KDE-4 eyecandy:
- Smooth Tasks plasmoid is set as default task manager
- 'Elegance' theme is set by default
- new wallpaper
