Pato,

That looks like a viable hack. :) It is my understanding that RPi can boot into a special, slimmed-down VM version just for Scratch. Is that not the case? For instance, when in Scratch, I cannot simply exit Scratch and go back to the desktop - quitting scratch issues a shutdown. Can I do the same for eToys? Part of it is that I do not fully understand how "boot to Scratch" works, so I would like to learn that if I can.
