I realize that using Fedora 11 is part of SoaS-2 but is there an actual different SoaS .iso in the making for version 2 or is simply using the current beta of SoaS and loading it on Fedora 11 (using the Download Fedora on the right side of the Live USB Creator) automatically making it a SoaS-2 version. </FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=640183714-13042009><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=640183714-13042009><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>2. What are the various "Download Fedora" options?   What is an i686?  When should the Sugar on a Stick option be used?  I think this is a case of too many options and a newbie so sorry about that.</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=640183714-13042009><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=640183714-13042009><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Sorry to be a bother and thanks for any help,</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=640183714-13042009><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=640183714-13042009><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Kathy</FONT></SPAN></DIV><SPAN class=640183714-13042009><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>   </FONT></SPAN></BODY></HTML>
