Hi again Jack,

The tarball you downloaded '...precise...' was intended to be used by
ToriOS, which is based on Ubuntu 12.04 'precise', but it needed further
tweaks (as is described later ...).

If you use 'my OBI' you should use the tarball '...trusty...' and run a
modern version of the OBI inside Lubuntu Trusty.

dd_blank-obi_7.8GB_27_LubuntuTrusty.img.xz

Is that possible for you (do you have suitable hardware available for
testing, or is it necessary to test in VirtualBox)?

- a separate computer or at least a separate target USB pendrive with at
least 8 GB. It is better if it is fast, for example Sandisk Extreme.

- possible to install and configure KVM + virt-manager in a computer
with enough horsepower, could be the same computer, where you run
VirtualBox).

-o-

Hi Israel and Jack,

After some more tests, I found that nm-applet and some other things work
when installed by 'my OBI' in precise, but not when installed by ToriOS
live. I know that it is like this, but I don't know why. Anyway, I made
a new tarball, where I added the kernels and made it boot to the grub
menu. This new system works well, when installed by ToriOS live (but not
by 'my OBI'). It is uploaded to phillw.net, and can be downloaded and
selected in ToriOS live. The link should be one line,

I have also changed 'dltbl', so that it will not confuse end users. Use
the attached file in the next version of the ToriOS live system

$ md5sum dltbl
