Thanks for the hints, it now works!  I labeled the partition
`persistence', but to get it work, I also had to put a persistence.conf
file on it.

About internet: I think I faced a different problem - not a missing
firmware was the culprit, but the not running dbus.  I also had no LAN,
and without getting wicd started, no chance to establish a connection
from the workspace.  Anyway, on the testing system I use now everything
worked out of the box.


Many thanks,

Michael.
