[Sugar-devel] Bill Bogstad's floppy disk boot (Soas)

[Art Hunkins]

With regard to Bill Bogstad's floppy boot disk project for SoaS: it works 
flawlessly for me. (I've tried it successfully on both an older Windows 
laptop and desktop - vintages: Pentium II/III.)

I've one suggestion for Bill: for use by children, I'd make everything as 
automatic as possible. Either delete the display where the user needs to 
make a choice (it's *way* technical and *I* didn't know what to do), or put 
a (10"?) auto-timer on it so that it goes on through (the usual way) without 
user intervention.

For Windows people: I suggest creating the boot disk with RAWriteWin. It's 
simple, user-friendly and efficient.

Great job, Bill.
