appboot.ijs is a hook that can modify things (such as usr, tmp, ARGV) and
then execution of normal profile continues.

Yes, the usb install got lost a bit in the shuffle. As Chris points out
there is a simple workaround by editing profile.ijs. I will consider
extending the appboot.ijs trick used in intaller apps to make it easier
to provide a standard way to override profile. Right now if you looked at
how appboot.ijs is used you would see that a simple definition of
appboot.ijs in your usb J bin would be able to set user and temp as you
wished.
Since Chris pointed out that profile.ijs will never be overwritten. I'll
just amend it to
usr=. ins,'\user'
as it was in the abeta.
Another question, will the codes after the line
0!:0 :: [ <jhostpath bin,'\appboot.ijs'
expected to be executed if the appboot actually exist?
