Last night (or this morning) I tried a Vector Linux live CD on my desktop computer. All was good, except that it did not seem to detect my Samsung Galaxy Q phone running Android, though it was connected by USB. I normally use a tethered phone for internet access here and at work in lieu of a proper cable or DSL connection. Wicd had no problem seeing wifi from the neighbours, but did nothing for tethering through the Wind.
Aside from the desktop, I would like to try it on a netbook that currently runs Lubuntu11.10 and a new ThinkPad T420. Is the problem related to using a live CD instead of an installed system? Is there a setting that I could change in Vector Linux to effect tethering? Should I install a network manager that is more likely to work with tethering of phones? Should I just enable an access point from the phone and use that with the VL OS?
