Broken build 613-20071004_0142 ?

[Michael Vorburger]

FYI, solved!  The loop of attempting to start X/Sugar, then aborting,
then re-starting, over and over, was apparently caused because I
didn't have networking set-up correctly in qemu (start-up parameter
missing; Wiki instructions inconsistent! Just fixed.). With that
corrected, things seems to work.

Question: Should a bug in Trac be raised (e.g. "Sugar/X start-up
screwed if no network" ?) or is this not worth pursuing, as you can be
SURE that eth0 will be up with a valid IP during startup??
