this is strange, i'm quite sure everything what's needed is already
inside, but i'm not sure how to switch it on. i think its about some
environmental variables that have to be set at boot, so maybe we need
to add scripts between GRUB and debian-live boots.
maybe the keyboard can be fixed with some utility in gnome?
i didn't had much time to look into these things and the manual we
still need to write, however gnome2 documentation should help here.
what i'm concentrating next is still bootscripts and some mechanism to
update them, plus also the module system so we can our own software
packages and also exchange them between each other like we always do
