<p>The FOSS4G Organising Committee have budget to distribute OSGeo-Live
either on a DVD or USB.
</p>
<p>Ideally we would have liked to distribute on a USB to all delegates
however out of the 5 or so computers tested, we've had reports of at
least 2 computers which can't boot from the USB. So we will distribute
OSGeo-Live to all delegates on the well tested DVD version.
</p>
<p>However, if we can get test results from enough people by first
thing, Monday 16 August, an OSGeo-Live USB will be created and given to
VIPs.
</p>
<p>Here is the deal:
</p>
<p>If we get:
</p>
<dl>
<dt> 7+ test results, from a variety of different computers, showing
a reasonable number of computers will work with a USB</dt>
<dd><br>
</dd>
<dd> we will hand out OSGeo-Live USBs to the (more forgiving) FOSS4G
presenters. Standard delegates will be given a Live-DVD.
</dd>
