"(VirtualBox) Module Add Kills save2ram KDE"
yes i can confirm that (only KDE is affected, activation works ok under LXDE and terminal mode). i think i know what's causing this, will try to fix it asap.
"prefer to see Login screen when multiple users are defined
even better when LiveCD starts up console only,"
hmmm... i would like to get to desktop as soon as it's possible so i guess you will have to tweak /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc to disable autologin feature.
"( learner user hints at command prompt like puppy does? )"
will have a look on puppy and see if we can do the same in Porteus.
"prefer LiveCDs that ID but DO NOT automount local partitions
I prefer to choose, manually mounting whats needed, later."
sorry but i need to follow majority of users which probably want automount by default. please hardcode 'noauto' cheatcode in your /boot/porteus.cfg file.
"Run dolphin - configure: F9 show tree from root. Detailed list view. Show
hidden files. Sort by date (newest at top of list). x out all the other
panel distractions, resize panels so it looks and feels like konqueror..."
i also prefer 'detailed tree view' but was asked for icons as it looks nicer. please save dolphin settings in /porteus/rootcopy
"( Konqueror lets me Right Click to add a directory - Gone in Dolphin :-( )"
works here
"Can we have the X paste buffer back and working in KDE again?"
works here
"A serious PIA to use "Copy and Paste" from MENU BARS only!!
Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V dont always work."
try ctrl+c and shift+insert instead of ctrl+v (works for terminals, mceadit, etc)
"gkrellm I cant live without: Its useful to
see what is going on with the system at all times, especially when testing."
i would recommend you to try superkaramba (included in Porteus)+ some monitoring theme:

"For some strange reason firefox wont allow me to update online, directly,
when I work from the beta. "
don't know but i would create xzm from ff instead.
"The KDE GUI partitioning tool does not do NTFS (!?) so I have to bale out
and reboot a Puppy distro and use gparted if I want to build/repartition
a PC/Laptop that has Windows on it ( most of them )."
why not try cfdisk in console? you will have to add 'ntfsprogs' package to be able to format partitions with ntfs (btw ntfs-3g and ntfsprogs are merged together so it should be availiable for next version of porteus)
"consider building in these small packages by default?
lessfs and cryptmount are very useful with virtual machines."
will have a look on your propositions but we are really tight in space and i would like to stay under magical 300MB ISO size.
"Can you (re)build RC2 for VirtualBox 4.0.6
please,"
no problem
"Thank Y'all (in advance) for the hard work and time in building the next
release candidate LiveCD"
you are welcome

"How did you get to build the module yourself? I have been trying to do so with the nvidia package, but even with nouveau blacklisted, there would be an error stating nouveau was still there."
try to use 'nomodeset' cheatcode + boot in text mode not GUI so nouveau will not be loaded.
"Which kde package is needed?"
wait for rc2 as i will upload localization packages on the server and update LST.
Cheers
