Maybe, but your moving from sugar .94 to .98. I don't think there are any
datastore issues to deal with.

I would try the backup/restore functionality of Dextrose to accomplish
that. Insert your usbkey / right click on the usbkey's icon in the journal
/ select backup. The backup is stored in "usbkey"/backups/"serial
number"/datastore.tar.gz. Change the "serial number" directory of the
source machine to be that of the target XO-4's serial number. Insert your
usbkey / right click on the usbkey's icon in the journal / select restrore

Good, that has an older version of Dextrose that should work.
