== Further suggested additions ==
* WPA/WEP passkey configuration in network setup during install- supposing secured wifi is the sole internet access but a proxy is not needed/desired.
* Add forensic tools to Live Mode- Scalpel (when ported) and Foremost or similar.

		+	Our focus should be on making things easier and more approachable or accessible. Therefore, in subtle ways, we ought to maintain some visibility of the technical side of BSD. We can GUI-fy the output of a manpage, dmesg, locate, or other cli "ugliness". This would appeal to the tech-inclined without necessarily scaring away neophytes. It would be wrong to go the more extreme route that Apple has chosen, thereby hiding all technical/challenging aspects behind a simplistic (even if powerful) interface.
