 [SoaS] SoaS windows USB builder
 01:14 PM 01/21/2011

 Folks:
 It would appear that the fix which now allows the Fedora Windows USB 
builder
 to now correctly create a bootable USB stick of the most recent F14 based
 SoaS USB (with syslinux 4.03),  the app now no longer properlry creates the
 previous SoaS versions (the berries) from the spin ISO's, that will boot.
 Workaround appears to be to use the same methodology as before but in the
 case where one wants to create older version bootable usb's,  one now
 manually copies an  *older* 3xx syslinux into the windows working directory
 before doing the build
 Full instructions for this method are listed in this SoaS digest in 
previous
 posts.  If one didn't keep their old syslinux, its available in the 
archives
 at http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/

I am not sure what it will take to burn the latest fedora but
  (there is always dd)

Note: usb boots on ACER ASPIRE ONE including wireless connection
(use "mount" to identify your USB device name.)
