        That should work just as well, the only reason for using /usr/local
is the changes are pesistent through reboots. Did twm complain about the
twmrc file you gave it?

Can't we write to /etc/init.d (etc -> /mnt/ramfs/etc)? I backed up twmrc,
changed it in /etc/init.d, then killed twm and restarted it. It came up in
some weird, default mode. I had to reboot to restore it.

I will give your way a try...
