L.S.
Every time Konqueror has an update I have to repair my setup in /etc/alternatives for x-www-browser and x-www-browser.1.gz, can this please be made to not change the existing setup?

Be nice to your kids. They'll choose your nursing home.

Konqueror's 'alternatives' provision was broken until recently, meaning that any other browser would be selected preferentially. It should be fixed now. The change was made in R14.0.x and in the nightly builds around 1st June. If you still see a problem after choosing /opt/trinity/bin/konqueror as x-www-browser, please can you do the following and post the results:
apt-cache policy konqueror-trinity
update-alternatives --display x-www-browser

A new amd64 exegnulinux iso is posted here: http://www.exegnulinux.net/downloads/jessie/
A devuan base is now used. This live image is built from today's clean (devuan-) jessie debootstrap. A minimal but very functional current TDE from http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb is used, along with a good mix of cli utilities and a few gtk, to fit an iso <700MB.
No *systemd* components are preinstalled (except systemd-udev.. but I am currently testing eudev). The problem of dbus, cups, sane, gimp, mplayer, udisks2 et al without systemd is mostly solved. TDE is working just fine in this setup.
As before, no non-free packages are preinstalled.

The live mode boots nicely from a USB drive. But , as in previous versions of exegnulinux, no wireless network is detected, even after adding wlan0 in the preferences. Do I need to install exe on my HDD first, and/or connect with a wired connection and install something else?

You omitted:

Hence no wireless.

You need to install something else, but I believe that it can be installed into RAM (compiled into the running kernel) for use with the live CD.

Legal issues aside, some Exe users (and contributors) have asked that it remain strictly GPL. I know the curse of nonfree firmware only too well, some machine here require it.
You can use a wired connection first and install the appropriate deb from there.. or place the deb on the usb and "dpkg -i" it, in a "live" session or post-install . It can even be done automatically as a "live hook" (see live-boot man page)
What's your wireless device? (hwinfo and/or TDE "control center" can help identify that) also see https://wiki.debian.org/WiFi

Wireless works now. From the Linux Mate partition, I copied /lib/modules/<kernel&arch>/kernel/drivers/wireless over to the Exe partition. Also copied over all the iwlwifi files from /lib/firmware. After reboot into Exe, started wicd and set wlan0 as the wireless interface. This enabled wireless networks to appear and to be configured. R.
