So I thought I would post an update here, hopefully this is going to the entire list, but anyways so far I'm liking coconut, but I've downloaded the and to goes image twice, the second time I tried it with Rufus the utility used or one of the utilities use to write images to USB, oddly enough, it told me that there was 1.5 gigs missing from the image! Though it didn't say it was incomplete, or partial, but that's what Rufus told me, Windows didn't say anything otherwise. So I don't know what the hell is up with that image of sonar, it's the latest release, and I still have yet to get it to boot on 3 different machines! I put it in, and absolutely nothing happens. I have formatted this drive more than I can count, I have actually had coconut on it, no take that back, I had another distribution of sonar, a while back, on it, and it worked, but antigos, for some reason wants to be a pain.
I installed it and think networkmanager got updated recently upstream. This is unfortunate since now my rtl8187B wifi adapter can no longer connect to the internet. The connection is found; the correct password is entered but no activation is possible.
