What I was arriving at is, this shows your init script is not working properly. Services like NetworkManager should be running on boot. I would say your idea about comparing with the LXDE LiveCD is the way to go. To check if you have the ones you need, you can compare with a running system using systemctl commands. If you don't mind my asking, what are you trying to achieve? Since it doesn't have X, I am guessing you are trying to get a recovery CD of some sort? If that is the case, I would just use one of the many minimal Live distributions out there. GL -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
