[Sugar-devel] SoaS won't boot XO-1s?

[Sean DALY]

Hmmm instructions say that for Option 2 not Option 1... but it's true
you had advised me that last week alrready

I "burned" a SoaS-2 USB stick with Unetbootin for Windows today and it
booted up my Acer Aspire One right away!! very snappy performance
