Comment:

 I've created a script allowing the user to create his own boot helper from
 a snapshot. That way, one can always get the latest kernel on the boot
 helper.

 I'm thinking of getting this automatically done at the image creation, so
 that we could host the resulting helper .iso files on our server, but
 that's more long-term, as the snapshots are just intended for testing and
 we'll have new boot helpers for the big releases.

 So here's the script: http://people.sugarlabs.org/sdz/boot-helper-
 creator.sh

 You'll need to be root to run it and can call it the following way:

 [root at localhost sebastian]# ./boot-cd-creator.sh Soas2-200905031329.iso
