bugs, bugs, bugs!

Hi Folks
I downloaded siduction-12.1.1-desperadoreloaded-lxde-amd64-201206241921.iso with much excitement, but it was very short lived.
major bug
Usb modem is not picked up. it does not matter what I try to do to get it to be seen
I restart various services such as
network-manager
udev
dbus
nothing works :(
No application will enable the modem such as
gprsconnect (I installed this one )
chat
resetting modem using usb-modeswitch
nothing works :(
major bug 2
The install-to-usb acts very weird
I have 2 usb drives 1 is 4GB and the other is 500GB and both are connected,I click on the install-to usb icon and it starts up BUT it doesn't show the 500GB drive, it only shows the 4GB drive, the 500GB drive has a 4GB fat32 partition on it and nothing else ie just unpartitioned space. This is the drive I actually want to install into.
minor bugs
gparted that is on the menu does not start up ( I have to use the console )
TUX commander will not view a text file, it complains that "less" is missing (but it is not missing ) and it will complain when I hit F4 to edit a file.
When I issue the command "sudo init 1" and then init 5 I get back to the desktop but ANY usb drive that I plugin is now not mounted (the window doesn't pop up and ask if I want to open the drive in the file manager ) BUT when I do "mount -l" they are show as mounted, but they are not.
I have tryed siduction on two different PCs and neither would see the modem and all bugs mentioned were present on both.
I really need my modem to work otherwise I might as well forget about installing siduction.
I am currently using Knoppix with LXDE and it sees the modem no problem.
Please help!
BTW I love the desktop background picture. who created it?

To be able to offer any help, we need to know some facts.
* You speak of USB-Modem, but which one exactly?
(please use lsusb -vv for identification)
When it comes to your major bug 2:
*you are using the wrong method (I assume)
The install-to-usb is for mobile "installs". This creates a USB-device that holds the iso image (like if you used dd) and adds persistence and some cheat-codes of your choice.
With a 500 GB drive I assume you want a real install, like to internal HDD. Then the tool is wrong, it assumes 1 partition over the whole device. You want to look at http://manual.siduction.org/en/hd-install-opts-en.htm#usb-hd under the headline "Full installation to a USB/SD/flash (behaves as normal HD installation)"
* We know about gparted not starting, but it starts from within the installer.
* No idea on TUX Commander.

- Device: ttyUSB0 [Connection1] --------------------------------------------------
Type: Mobile Broadband (GSM)
Driver: option1
State: connected
Default: yes
Capabilities:

No! I just wanted to use the 500GB drive and not the smaller drive, I understand the different install types
and the point I was trying to make is that the 500GB drive isn't even seen, I get the message "No USB Drive found" when I start the installer
but it works if I use the 4GB drive.
During the install on to the 4GB drive, when I click on "cheat-codes" nothing happens.
Regards
devil:
Like I said, to use your 500 GB drive with install-to-usb, the whole space needs to be in 1 partition.
For the modem:
What does wvdial hsdpa output?
btw.: you can set your modem so that it starts as modem right away and not as usb-storage. you need to do this on a system where the device works, with AT commands:
--- Code: ---AT^u2diag=0
--- End code ---
to revert, use
--- Code: ---AT^u2diag=1
--- End code ---

Maybe the firmware is missing ?
--- Code: ---apt-get install firmware-linux-nonfree firmware-linux-free
--- End code ---
will fix it.
