Important points:
I have experienced freezes after using installpkg or ac/deactivating certain modules. Please report if you experience this so we can gauge how widespread the problem is.
Some dual graphics systems with graphic switching function will experience kernel oops if no ATI driver is present.
High power usage on graphics switching systems (switcheroo) as high power. There is a kernel module available that allows acpi calls: https://github.com/mkottman
To remove the startup pause at default password check ... just enter your new passwords and continue to GUI. Copy the module /home/Desktop/psswd.xzm into your Porteus/modules folder and Porteus will pick it up and bypass the startup pause. This is a much needed security feature.

I've made a quick to the xmodtools file. Instead of rebuilding the module on the server i decided to just it in rootcopy for now. Please let me know if you get a blank box when opening the xmodtools help page.
