When I tried Blueberry myself I found that I<br> could boot off the USB itself just fine on a newer PC that supports<br> booting directly from USB. However, I tried using two other older<br> machines that needed a boot helper CD and neither of them was able to<br> boot with the CD. The pretty boot art with the circle of dots seems<br> to work OK until it is time to draw the final two dots and then it<br> hangs. Note that I have used these machines with Strawberry and<br> earlier SoaS and their corresponding boot CDs, so the evidence seems<br> to point to the helper CD itself.<br> <br> I did report this on BugTraq:<br> <br> <a href="http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/1626" target="_blank">http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/1626</a><br> <br> James Simmons<br> <br> <br> > Date: Mon, 28 Dec 2009 15:47:25 -0800<br> > From: Caryl Bigenho <<a href="mailto:cbigenho@hotmail.com">cbigenho@hotmail.com</a>><br> > Subject: [IAEP] Need Live CD to take to Argentina<br> > To: IAEP SugarLabs <<a href="mailto:iaep@lists.sugarlabs.org">iaep@lists.sugarlabs.org</a>>, Developers List<br> > <<a href="mailto:devel@lists.laptop.org">devel@lists.laptop.org</a>><br> > Message-ID: <SNT118-W15F3515BC439D32A18D0C5CC7B0@phx.gbl><br> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"<br> <div class="im">><br> ><br> > H All i...<br> ><br> ><br> > Did this ever get implemented?
