[IAEP] [SoaS] Beta Image and Boot Helper - please TEST!

[Mike Lee]

Just got a chance to burn this SoaS beta onto a USB drive (the Sugar branded
one). Here are photos (ones with black background) of it running on an Intel
Classmate 3:

So far: No sound from Speak. Playing OGG file produces some popping sounds.
Zoom in doesn't work on Image Viewer. No wifi APs visible in Neighborhood.
