Hi Ryan,

Thanks for your reply.

RootFS getting corrupted by repeated <Ctrl+C>: Does that mean we have some
known limitations / stability issues with the foundation model (or rootfs)?
This was not an issue for past 6 months and has only showed up recently
after I used the custom image.

So far I have generally launched the the model and used the model window
itself to do build etc.. I remember having issues with doing SSH to the
model from the host initially when I started using it. There was no steps
mentioned in the user guide and I had tried various things without success.
Few things I could do with the model were:

1. wget works
2. scp from host pc into the model works.
3. pinging an ip address from inside the model doesn't work (e.g "ping
google.com" fails)

So, I don't know completely if and how to connect to the model via ssh so
that I can avoid having to close a hung process by <Ctrl+c>. Could you
please point me to some resource?

Thanks,
Anil
