Hi David, I boot up with my USB. I enter Sugar. How do I get to "System -> Administration" for Hardy Heron? <div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Nov 1, 2008 at 12:04 PM, David Van Assche <<a href="mailto:dvanassche@gmail.com">dvanassche@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Actually with the advent of intrepid Ibex, and I believe Hardy Heron too, there is a menu option under System -> Administration that says create USB startup disk. You choose your iso and choose how much of the usb stick u want to use for the OS, and hit create startup disk... dont think it could be simpler...
