But you should have a soft link to the location to make it more convenient. (I don't want to have the tarball occupy valuable RAM-disk space, so it is in the 'cdrom emulating partition'. free -m: 68 MB RAM idling after boot in graphical DE :-) uname -a: Generic PAE kernel lsb_release -a: Ubuntu 12.04.5 df -h: Used 1.4G At login (torios,torios) I had a complaint: "Unable to contact the Wicd daemon due to an access denied error from DBus. Please check that your user is in the netdev group." ping 8.8.8.8: Network is unreachable; I have wired internet, and most other distros work flawlessly. -o- ToriOS looks good and is very responsive :-) It was hard to get out of it. The Shutdown menu was dead, but I could log out, and from the text interface shutdown (poweroff).
