 Public networks may require a login before allowing access to the outside. Generally this is done by a transparent proxy that redirects to the login screen whenever an http request is made. A solution to this may be to add the class C network to the iptables exclusion list so the redirect won't run through Tor. The user will need to access something on the local net first though since the redirect won't happen when running through Tor. Other suggestions are welcome.
 Sometimes a direct Internet connection (i.e. bypass Tor completely) is needed, though. If we setup a new http(s) proxy that is excluded from the netfiler Tor forwarding, Torbutton could be used to have Firefox somehow access the network directly, which can be necessary when ISP require logins. For example, we could make an un-toggled Torbutton give Firefox direct Internet connection, although we really want a clear, annoying indicator that we are not anonymous any longer.
 (This is implemented in the torbutton branch, except for the annoying indicator)
+
+- Windows theme
+A KDE theme resembling Microsoft Windows XP would be nice when using a public computer in order to raise less suspicion.
+
+- NTP
+Tor sometimes freaks out if it detects a too large clock skew. We should set the system time with NTP during boot. This will require adding a rule for the ntp user/group to bypass Tor forwarding in the iptables rules.
+
+- USB installation script refactoring and extensions
+This script is a mess and needs some heavy refactoring.
+Add a section for advanced features, like installing to ext2 using the EXTLIUX boot loader to evade the 4 GB (or more like 2 GB?) file size limit of FAT32.

 A configuration program for Incognito specific things like creating USB, clearing persistent home, removing the lock file preventing persistent home to be used etc.
 Or maybe the new category in K menu is enough?
