Smile TOOROX - Help installing it...or just even running it Live would be nice!


Hi.
I've installed and consider Sabayon one of my most favorite distros. And this morning I tried out VLOS but it's just too outdated so I'm itchin' still to try out Toorox. I've probably tried at least 10 times in the last 3 months to just get the LIVE DVDs to boot let alone install it, That includes the GNOME, Xfce variants, etc...and even on two different laptops. The point is that there is some huge issue with Toorox and trying to find USBs or HDAs. I'd love to somehow make a screenshot of all the errors it gives but in a gist it gives scripts in a steady flow of usb1 is busy...usb2 is busy and so on then it starts trying to boot to /dev/hda numbers up to 20 */dev/hda20? Then it stops a second, says "searching for USB devices..." the proceeds to say none found and kicks you to "a very limited shell" with just a couple commands listed but no leads to what to do from there. I literally would put a USB flash drive in then boot the DVD and still it would not register. Just now I installed Absolute which is a Slackware derivative and it I was looking through the menus and packages and noticed under "System Information" it had "USB Devices" listed so I clicked there thinking it'd show my wireless mouse, etc... but it said I had no USB devices either. SEE ATTACHED IMAGE for specifics but that was Absolute so I'm wondering what is up with Toorox. Can't find any find of leads on their website or forums...What can I do to fix this or what does this mean, anyone? Sure appreciate any assistance!!

Hi!
No direct help, but the first thing to do is: please run in a Terminal:
Code:
lsusb
Part of my output:
Code:
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 058f:6387 Alcor Micro Corp. Transcend JetFlash Flash Drive
You see a Flash Drive is recognized and the hex numbers 058f and 6387 are showing the manufacturer and the device (Google search).
