Then, I accidentally unplugged the liveusb drive instead of the power cord, so I lost the jockey error message that I was going to transfer over ethernet. anyway, jockey should check for internet connection, and should not progress the status bar if that does not work. Ideally, it would be best to have these packages on the iso image so we can connect to the network, because... I don't have a wired ethernet network connection!!!
