FYI

In case there are users trying to install soas-i386-20100916.15.iso to 
USB/SD/or Hard Disk

This fixes problem:

liveinst install:
use "whole disk" option (this was 8GB SD)
install completes sucessfully
on reboot from SD end up at gdm "other"  prompt; impossible to log in.

(Bug in Anaconda not calling firstboot program)

FIX:
 <alt> <ctrl> f5  (terminal)

 login root, password useradd (new user name)
 passwd (new user password) exit

 <alt> <ctrl> f1
 login to new user name and password in gdm.

I know that most of you knew this already; but there are quite a number 
of novices out here that should have this information.
