[Marketing] [IAEP] Tests of applications on booted Trisquel 4.1 sugar installed to a 8Gb USB (2nd version 02/18/2011)

[Thomas C Gilliard]

Sean;

There is a new Feb 20 2011 (4th version) of trisquel-sugar_4.1_i686

http://devel.trisquel.info/sugar/trisquel-sugar_4.1_i686.iso

It will boot from the Cd in my MacBook Air and if used in conjunction 
with a persistent USB of the same build
will save changes.

This is really a great improvement,

Thanks to Ruben (quidam)

still version 2
