Hi again,

The first time I ran the installed system in the IBM Thinkpad with a
Pentium M displayed no nm-applet icon. The wired network was running,
and when I ran nm-applet, two icons appears. When I stopped nm-applet
with ctrl C, one icon disappeared and the other one stayed.

The second I ran the installed system in the IBM Thinkpad with a Pentium
M displayed the nm-applet icon as it should.

Funny detail (no show stopper).

-o-

Shutdown from the menu works for me too, in both computers where I have
tested this version of ToriOS.

Best regards
Nio
