[Workshops] Fwd: [Live-demo] USB testing required today if we are to hand out OSGeo-Live on a USB at FOSS4G

[Oscar Fonts]

We're planning to hand out an OSGeo-Live USB to workshop & tutorial
presenters at FOSS4G, but need some testing.

The ISO can be downloaded here: http://download.osgeo.org/livedvd/4.0-rc9/

Or, at 2010.foss4g.org server where we have the workshop materials:
OSGeoLive/osgeolive-4.0rc9.iso

Following are the build & test instructions.

Thanks,

Oscar.

The FOSS4G Organising Committee have budget to distribute OSGeo-Live
either on a DVD or USB.

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.

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.

Here is the deal:

If we get:

7+ test results, from a variety of different computers, showing a
reasonable number of computers will work with a USB
we will hand out OSGeo-Live USBs to the (more forgiving) FOSS4G
presenters. Standard delegates will be given a Live-DVD.

How to test a USB

Download and burn the USB as per:
