(as a suggestion)

A good hosts file I have found to offer a better solution than adblock
http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm

When teamed with NoScript (firefox extension) its unbeatable!

After installing, AdblockPlus its around 1.3 MB. I'm not sure if that is too big or not since I know that size matters with this distro. It would be nice to have it included since I install it every time I load Firefox in PartedMagic. I think it has become somewhat of an O.C.D. issue for me. :?

This is exactly why I made the "Save Session" command in the Shutdown menu.

Save session is cool but not useful if the PC is another one each time...

Save Session saves to the pmodules directory on the USB Drive you boot with.

Save session works with a CDRW. If it's the only thing on the CDRW you shouldn't have any issues. Save session from a multi-boot CD obviously won't work.

Yes, I know. I'm not going to update that stuff until the week of the next release.
