Hi Nio,
Ok, it must be that I didn't fully configure the internet..
There is SOOOOOO much to remember when building an entire operating
system :D
I am glad this was released, so I can find the things I don't think of
initially, though I remembered most of them :)

I will fix the shutdown and reboot stuff to simply use shutdown -h now
and reboot since the live user is root... though I may still yet do
this.  time will tell.
