that is right; as written in the announcement, sudo is one of those
live-specific packages that were added to all live-cds in order to make

there is. by default, all debian-live systems do dhcp on eth0. since
I've verified that with the images we've released, there must be

we're happy to help you, but we will need more information about your
system in order to do so.
