Good :)

I think I will add options for 800x600 resolution on the boot screen.
640x480 , though, is just too small to be usable currently.

I don't quite follow this - on the live USB sudo should not require a
password, and selecting (9) in the Net & Web menu should run ceni
without issues, as far as I know...

I think you can consider yourself at least "intermediate" by now,
Marsha, judging by your rapid learning curve evidenced on IRC :)
Someone who actually did the INX tutorials! Loud cheers! *g*

See above - and to get the update script, boot 'persistent' then run

wget inx.maincontent.net/updates/update-inx
chmod +x update-inx
./update-inx

(note the dot-slash)

On your next USB boot, the updates should be there (persistent mode is
nice!)

Thanks for the testing and feedback!
