The wicd deamon should setup eth0 within 30 seconds on 2nd boot. (first boot there is a slight delay as the ssh key's are generated). If you uncomment out the eth0 interface in /etc/network/interfaces boot time falls from 15seconds to 35ish.. > Also, how is one supposed to use the Root Terminal in the LXDE environment? > It won't accept the admin password for the debian user, and I don't know if > there is a different root password?
