This is another baby step that's keeping my excitement growing.<div><br></div><div>I installed your new snapshot on a 4 gig USB drive using Fedora's Liveusb-creator. I then I did quick boot tests on the following, which all booted up:</div>
<div><br></div><div>Asus Eee PC 701 (no wifi, cramped screen layout)</div><div><br></div><div>Intel Classmate 2 Celeron (wifi worked and I was able to use Browse, cramped screen layout)</div><div><br></div><div>Intel Classmate 3 Convertible (no wifi, screen much roomier)</div>
<div><br></div><div>On all: the cursor was invisible to start. It appeared after I navigated to the Journal and opened the detail view of an entry. Speak didn't work.</div><div><br></div><div>While I had wifi on the Classmate 2, I downloaded Walter's TAPortfolio 17. It seemed to load fine on all three machines, but the bottom part of the tabbed palette was clipped on the EeePC and Classmate 2 making some of the pieces impossible to retrieve.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Well, that was what I did in an hour. Looking forward to testing more.</div><div><br></div><div>Mike</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.olpclearningclub.org">http://www.olpclearningclub.org</a></div>

<br>
after some time, we've another snapshot of soas-1 ready for testing! You<br>
can now grab it directly from [1].<br>
<br>
So what has changed in comparison to the last one?<br>
<br>
* size improvements everywhere - the whole image has been slimmed quite<br>
a bit and is now just around 350 MB!<br>
<br>
* sugar-write works now out of the box - yay! thanks to alsroot for<br>
making this possible.<br>
<br>
* your favorite activities have been included, updated and some new were<br>
also added: for example, you can now directly check out the InfoSlicer<br>
activity [2] using SoaS.<br>
<br>
* Sugar has been updated; Simon is working on the RPMs of the latest<br>
release, so expect another snapshot soonish!<br>
<br>
* Gnash has been recently included - please check whether it works for you!<br>
<br>
For your notice, there's a known bug with regard to the mouse cursor<br>
occurring from time to time. If you come across it or can help with<br>
fixing it, that would be really appreciated.<br>
<br>
Please help us and report also any other issues you may encounter!<br>
<br>
Thanks and happy testing,<br>
