Hi Don and all, as you already pointed out in a later message, with the 3.2 wheezy kernel it finally worked for you. I am glad to hear that, and will add a note about that to the next wmlive version release notes.
Just to answer your question regarding kernel headers, they are already included for both kernel versions, as they are required for building the tp-smapi kernel modules in order to provide proper power management support on Thinkpads out of the box. As i am a Thinkpad user myself, this was an important aspect for my personal selfish interests. ;) Other than that, the next wmlive update for amd64 will contain at least kernel 3.8.3 as a secondary kernel option. The i386 version will stick to 3.2 kernels only, as it is more important to provide a supposedly better tested conservative kernel option for both i486 and i686-pae than to exclusively rely on a kernel from the experimental branch. For amd64 we only provided this option because there was enough space left to maintain the standard CD-ROM size of the ISO image while providing this optional kernel choice. The next wmlive vesion will also not have firefox and thunderbird included in the live image itself, but both programs will be unpacked at runtime or during installation from separate archives inluded in the top level ISO image file tree. The rationale behind this stems from the fact that there was a critical security update of firefox the day after the current wmlive realease became available at sourceforge. For the upcoming new wmlive version users will be able to replace the firefox and thunderbird archives with newer ones by editing and saving the wmlive ISO using the already included isomaster application. This way the distributed ISO's can be kept up to date in this regard by the users themselves without having to download a newer wmlive release. Other than that, starting with the next wmlive release, we will be additionally distributing incremental updates of the already available ISO images using the xdelta3 utility. This can save a considerable amount of download volume as these incremental xdelta3 updates will be only around 250 MB per ISO. So stay tuned for the next release! Unfortunately, this will still take a while until i have recovered from a rather serious RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury) issue, which currently doesn't permit me to use a computer in a normal way. This text was typed with the left hand, for example. Please be patient while waiting for my promised update.
