In my continuing quest for enough understanding of systemd to be able to

Last night I installed Debian Jessie Beta-1 (Gnome) on an old Dell Dimension
e310 I had received from a friend.
All seems well, except that the “terminal” application (the “root terminal”,
also) do not start when I click on the icon.
Any thoughts on how to debug this?
Thanks!

Based on what you describe, the Jessie installer did not properly install the

In Wheezy there is a program called "palimpsest" that gives a nice wide-ranging

Hmmm...
I originally reported this back in November.
After a while, it went away for me. Downloading the latest (about January
time-frame) "netinst" image worked fine -- both Jessie and Wheezy. I haven't
tried it recently, though.
Possibly a regression?

I'd like to create a 32GB (or larger?) USB memory stick

While fascinating, this discussion has wandered seriously Off Topic. It's no
