---------
New in these ISOs:

Wayland Login Manager's session picker now displays Description text defined in the sessions .Desktop files. This is mainly to add instructions on how to use Orbital and Sway for new users

For removing symbols from installed binaries, and removing headers, the packages are rebuilt for the smaller ISO, and then installed, so that the dpkg hashes match

Set the default wallpaper for more sessions

When building the ISO, (and using test_RBOS_ISO.sh), all mounts are contained in a namespace, all pids are contained in a namespace. This allows any weird issues with rbind mounts to not effect the build system, and allows any orphaned processes to be cleaned up by simply terminating the namespace's 'pid 1', instead of searching with fuser
---------
Usage:

There is no password for the Live Session User (beccaholic), while auto login is enabled when starting as a live CD, if you get prompted for a password when starting a second login session, the password field is blank

If you choose to install, the live session user does not get added, and instead the login becomes the default username and password that is configured at the installation wizard

---------
Problems and Notes:
  
   Due to a swrast mesa bug, if you're using 64 bit, and the installer fails to run, you might need to force boot the ISO to use software rendering, from the boot menu to force it to use softpipe instead of swrast

   If a session quits, and you need to go back to the login manager, and it fails to return, you will need to press CTRL+ALT+F8
