I burned several Trisquel mini LiveCDs, and used a couple of them without
issue for several days to try out Trisquel,
but now something weird is happening.
When I boot to one of these discs, it brings me a login prompt, asking for
user:pass, instead of going straight to the desktop.
The other goes straight to the desktop, but fails to bring up the network.
When I try
sudo ifconfig
it shows data for eth0 and lo interfaces.
when I try to
sudo ifup eth0
it says something about ignoring unkown interface eth0=eth0
I can boot to my Debian Wheezy installation and my networking is fine, so
there is no problem with the ethernet card or cable modem.
I don't really understand what could be wrong, since these are LiveCDs and,
clearly, nothing should be changed on them from one use to the next,
nor has anything changed in the hardware.
I want to be able to carry one of these guys with me and use it where I do
not have access to a real OS, but my faith in these is a bit shaken.
At first, I thought the little Trisquel Mini system was pretty nifty (I'm a
Debianista and Openbox user, I like light, fast, efficient, and Free).
Why would they work fine 4 or 5 times, then suddenly get weird on me?
