I'm using ext4 for my file system. Could the file system make a
difference if you use something else? Your root and /home is getting a
little full. o_O
I didn't put anything OS related on LVM this time. With a 1TB stick, I
figured I could make everything big enough that I shouldn't ever run out
of space. I'd be more likely to either wear out the stick and have to
replace it or this rig will become outdated and be replaced. I even
made /boot large. I could put Knoppix on there if I wanted.
Speaking of, I have /usr on the same partition as / this time around.
Do I need a init thingy still or can I ditch that thing? I do have /var
on a separate partition, if that matters.

:-) :-)
P. S. I just ran the update command for your checksum script. Another
torrent finished and I added a video file.
