Hi Nio, I am forwarding this to the dev list as well...

Ok,
The fix for the nm-applet in the installed system is:
sudo pico /etc/network/interfaces

*ever**thing* should be commented out EXCEPT
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

I did this in the first build... I just got busy and forgot it this
time.  There is a lot to remember.
I have an icon, and everything is working!  The next build will have
this for sure!


The other thing of note...
in partition-help  I think we should use
ram=$(free *-m*|grep "Mem:"|tr -s ' ' '\t'|cut -f 2)

This lists RAM as MB
I think it would be helpful to list the options for swap, and the
reasons why.
To suspend we need twice the swap as RAM.  So we should note that.
However if we are not going to suspend, then
IF RAM >= 2 GIG
THEN
SWAP = RAM/2
ELSE
SWAP = RAM

I know there are lots of theories about swap space, etc..
but for a laptop that wants to suspend we need double swap space as RAM,
right?
This system is sooo light we probably only really need 512MB for swap...
for all circumstances (except heavy duty users with lots of RAM and lots
of things going on)

 let me know your thoughts on this... anyone else feel free to chime in
on the swap issue (or anything else)
