The lockup occurred only once on my desktop running (I believe at that point, unmodified) 3.2rc5 XFCE, while I had the file browser open and the Network Manager was failing to connect to the Internet using my Ethernet.

Success! Your latest version fixed my Internet connection -- thanks! I will be on the lookout for the only problem I encountered in rc4 (occasional loss of graphical cursor with the rest of the GUI seemingly intact), but I hope to use this copy of Porteus more and more. I am writing this from just-installed Firefox; Libre Office downloaded, but threw a number of warnings. I'll try Kodi next.

update-firefox appears to only make FireFox beta modules. Is there a way for it or some other update- script to create official release FireFox modules like 49.0.1?

Download the archive that you want to use and place it in /tmp and then run the udpate script. It should detect an archive there and attempt to use it.

Activated in terminal libreoffice-5.2.2.2-i586.xzm from Update Script
http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=6265 and promptly lost all icons in menu. The only places with icons remaining, being Places & Recent Files. The activation process was also quite drawn out.

At the start of the 4.8 kernel I noticed a flurry of "Could not connect to X server" messages during the start process. Then it connects. It all happens rather quickly. Logs are found in /var/logs

Still problems with getting WiFi applet to enable on start up.
So far I've tried:
* Loading dhcp-4.3.4-i586-1.xzm in module. Edited the 00-dhcp-client.conf by changing "dhcp=dhcpcd" to "# dhcp=dhcpcd" and changing "# dhcp=dhclient" to "dhcp=dhclient".
* I've gone to my WiFi connection and set IPv6 Settings Method to Ignore, which disables it I think.
* I've added network-manager-applet-1.4.2-i486-1_gfs.xzm and NetworkManager-1.4.2-i586-1_gfs.xzm to module folder which Blaze made.
* I've gone to Porteus Settings Center and ran Porteus Updater, had to disable Porteus Firewall to run it.

--with-dhclient
I'm not sure if you mean setting conf file with the modules I noted, mate. Unless this is what causing problem.

Then you will need to include the latest updates which I pushed to the server this morning I doubt very much that this is what is causing the complete lockups you mention. Can you describe your setup a bit more? Vanilla Porteus-v3.2rc5?
XFCE Porteus 3.2rc5
I'm wondering if I should just wait till 3.2 is released and hope problem is fixed. I don't want to be a bother to you guys with the backbone problem I'm having. Although it took like 5 reboots to get online. Should I try making a new dat? Only thing I'm concerned about is setting all my personalization back up again.

This should be the first thing you try to see if the problem is in your changes. Boot into always fresh mode.
Check your PMs.

I have given up on GPT partitioning; I don't need more than four partitions and couldn't load (x86) Phoenix with my 64-bit UEFI loader anyway. In reverting to MBR and separating Phoenix and Porteus into their own separate partitions (to facilitate booting with EasyBCD), I now seem to have lost my Internet connection (via Ethernet) again. I just downloaded Porteus-XFCE-v3.2rc5-x86_64.iso from Kent Univeristy again -- all the modules in /base are dated 9/2 or before. Where are the updated 001 and 002 files to be found?
P.S. I am sorely confused; I thought that I was in possession of an 3.2rc5 XFCE iso with working (Ethernet) Network Manager, but upon re-installing what I now have, I again have no Internet. I see brokenman's edit above of a post dated 10/10 makes reference to new 001 and 002 files uploaded then, but all the mirrors' rc5s are dated 9/2 or before.
