It does switch to root without asking for password. However, starting nm-applet (as root) on the Live CD yields the following error (verbatim): (nm-applet:1385): GConf-WARNING **: Client failed to connect to the D-BUS daemon: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. GConf Error: No D-BUS daemon running ** (nm-applet:1385): GConf-WARNING **: Failed to initialize D-Bus: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. (nm-applet:1385): GConf-WARNING **: Directory '/apps/nm-applet' was not being monitored by GConfClient 0x83a6d60 Btw, I don't know if this is germane to the discussion but i did take out PackageKit during my LiveCD creation. Also, how do I know that whatever services I need are running? What are the services I need to get the main processes behind my LiveCD running? I guess I could figure this out by comparing with the LXDE LiveCD for instance.
