Note: rsync has been removed from the base.
Use new cp construct for local file type merge operations.
Or grab the rsync extension for remote file syncs.

EDIT: Classic accidentally posted. Topside is now posted. If you were quick and got classic and want topside, grab again.

With this rc, it goes right to flwm before my group of extensions is finished loading (script from .xsession or bootlocal), so I have to ctr-alt backspace first to see jwm.  I wonder if there's a way to keep flwm from loading. (maybe microcore?)

edit   looks like microcore requires loading from extensions from the prompt as well. Maybe I'll stay with the prior release.  

jpeters:
Ran noautologin remaster script, so it boots to prompt instead of flwm. This allows for loading of
jwm and load.grp extensions so that all is ready after login without a new startx    :)

Looks like a number of extensions use rsync.   I don't see an rsync extension....there's grsync

I know naught of your customizations. Using bootlocal.sh for extension loading especially window managers is inappropriate as such is backgrounded. Using .xsession is after the fact. If you use the system as intended you will have better results.

Promoting your customizations, which apparently break the system and apparently are not called in an appropriate place, is inappropriate here.

I was assured that rsync had been removed from extensions. However, the extension area is where such should be posted so that they can be corrected.
