No problem.

I then Googled how to
ssh into SuseStudio because I unfortunately have never ssh’ed into
anything yet despite a few years of Linux user experience, and it came
up with instructions on SuseStudio which (again) is under maintenance.[/color]
When you enable networking in Test Drive, the page gives you the command
to enter. Just copy and paste.

I
will have to test the escape during boot and ssh, init 3, init 5 later.
Sorry for the delay. When I get the chance, did you press escape first
thing, during the boot selection screen, loading screen, or boot screen
(the names of the screenshots in the second link I posted give these
frames of reference)? If I do get ssh to reproduce the GUI like you did,
is ssh possible during live installation on a real machine in order for
me to actually use this appliance?[/color]
The ssh option here is specific to SUSE Studio test drive - it lets you
get into the machine before its network is enabled.
I got past the grub2 menu, so pressed escape after the image came up
indicating the system was booting - as on a real system, so I could see
where the boot process was hanging up.
