[Sugar-devel] Testing images with SUgar 0.102

[Gonzalo Odiard]

I have uploaded new 41002SL* images, with fixes to the activities updater
(thanks tch),
web activities support, and new versions of Speak and Story activities.

James, I added short instructions to install the SD images based in the
info you sent,
feel free to change if there are some mistake.

Feedback is appreciated.

Gonzalo
