liveCD + network + Display + hardware

[François Schoubben]

Hi,

I've just download, burn and try liveCD. I'm pleased it's morphix, i 
tough nearly a year ago it was valuable, and now, it's used too :-)

And i'm realy pleased to have a Ubuntu to show "live" to convince people.

That have been said, i have problems...

When i configured my ethernet card to be on my local router, i'm unable 
to lanch any new X program. I had this before, and it was a MagicCookie 
problem if i rememeber well... Something like localhost.localdomain can 
always export display on localhost. But it was a long time ago and i'm 
not sure. Does anybody have a clue to avoid this problem ?

Also, when i try to use modem config, it says wvdial is not installed... 
Better to install it or remove the possibility no?

finaly when i launch hal-device-manager, it crash with stderr =
<STDERR>
(hal-device-manager:3465): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to 
session manager:
