gOS Rocket G 2.0

In my previous post, I managed to browse the Internet using the live CD of gOS Rocket Beta on my Eee PC and Compaq TC1000. But the new release gOS Rocket G 2.0 behaves differently after burning the ISO image to a DVD.
In Eee PC, I can assign the wired network with a static ip and DNS addresses but there is no Internet connectivity. In Compaq TC1000, the row of icons at the bottom is missing and I am unable to assign the wired network with a static ip address even though the wired and wireless adapters are detected. Not sure whether it has to do with the interface because this new version runs Gnome whereas the beta version runs Enlightenment. In fact, Everex Cloudbook also runs Gnome in their gOS OS.
