Packages that Won't Install Nicely or at All

• kile
  • Needs texlive, which needs an up-to-date libpoppler, but sugar-evince won't let libpoppler update.
    (Plus kile needs KDE base packages and that's way too much for an XO...)

/etc/event.d/

prefdm

• Switch from Sugar to Ice?

tty{1,2}

• Nix paswordless logins?

ttyS0

• Nix serial console?

/usr/bin/olpc-session

• # set mouse and keyboard speed
  • turn on keyclick??
• # finally, run sugar
  • a way to swap to Ice?? Yes, but:
    • 0-boot-anim-start and 0-boot-anim-start must be off! ( I hope I can keep ul-warning, though... kinda cute)
    • WiFi can't be operated ($PATH is busted and NetworkManager won't function)
