[IAEP] Show Must Go On - SoaS for the XO-1

[Christoph Derndorfer]

Wow, great stuff, can't wait to try this out at home!!

One question though: Do I have to write the image to NAND or can I also 
directly boot the XO from an SD-card / USB key?

Thanks and keep up the excellent work!

> http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/xoimages/devxo-1.img

> Put them on a USB key or a SD card, plug them into your XO and execute:

> copy-nand u:\devxo-1.img or copy-nand sd:\devxo-1.img

> Note that you'll need to have an unlocked XO and the latest firmware!

> So. Happy hacking and let us know what you think! :)
