I believe that when the GUI loads, the user is "web" with a home

I tried to document every change I made, mainly so I could remember...
I tossed it onto http://linux.porterfield.net/nic.html (I know it's not
well organised...) I also put the iso image I made, as well as links to
www.thinknic.com (but don't waste your time with that iso since tn5250
doesn't work from it yet. :)
I don't see python on it. There is a lot of free space on the CD; no
problem there. (The iso image is less than 200MB right now.)
I hope to take another wack at it this weekend. I need to change the
XTerm anyway... Most users will expect ESC to be ATTN and Shift-ESC to
be SysRq, and I didn't think to make it do that.
