I do not understand why the regression to Wheezy; the debianlive ISO
copied to a USB flash stick gave me Jessie with xfce and synaptic, and
with the flash stick I booted the Windows machine; NetworkManager
performed beautifully.

Then, using synaptic, I installed clamav and another utility or two
(including Midnight Commander) which enabled me to inspect the machine.

The only problem I encountered was an error message when I executed rsync
on a Debian desktop in order to copy the drive of the Windows machine;
there was something which ssh did not like, and with Google I discovered
that others, too, have experienced the difficulty.  But it turned out that
by executing rsync on the Windows machine running debianlive, I was able
to copy the drive.

But it would be nice to have a customized debianlive ISO which includes
clamav and mc and a few other packages.
