Good stuff!

Wouldn't the above be part of the installation process of putting X onto
the flash device/into the filesystem?

I would do a startup script to run from the etc/rcS.d directory. All
scripts in there are run automatically at startup in alphanumerical order.
To have good control over what runs when they're numbered, like: 05modules
20firewall, etc....
