Hi israel,
Live session in VB: Worked out username was 'root' and password 'torios'
and tried to execute 'startx' but that failed 'no screens found'.
Cheers,
JackT.

Hi Israel,
Tried booting to Live session in VB several times but just got to the
tty1 login screen each time; what's the Live username and password btw?
Cheers,
JackT.

Here is the link for this test ISO.
http://phillw.net/isos/torios/ToriOS-2016-08-19-beta-xenial.iso
Let me know how it goes. I tested it a few times, and the install (at

Network in the Live session did NOT work.
Everything else worked as expected in the installed system
