Hi Clint
Thanks for the changes in failsafe.conf, neat work! A ten second
countdown would probably give slightly better feedback to the user (but
it isn't essential or anything):
$PLYMOUTH message --text="Waiting up to 60 more seconds for network
configuration..." || :
sleep 10
$PLYMOUTH message --text="Waiting up to 50 more seconds for network
configuration..." || :
sleep 10
$PLYMOUTH message --text="Waiting up to 40 more seconds for network
configuration..." || :
sleep 10
[etc]
I also tested removing the "iface eth0" and there is no delay, so the
fix to bug #838968 seems to be working ok, which will alleviate the
situation here

Yes, that was the initial understanding. However, comment #5 by Robert
Hooker seemed to indicate that this is not the case (wouldn't the normal
live CD always initiate NetworkManager). But I downloaded the Beta 1
live CD, burned a USB image and I still couldn't reproduce Robert's
observation. I was using a DHCP connection.
@Robert: could you please give a little more details on how to reproduce
what you see? Maybe show your interfaces file?
