[OSGeo-Discuss] USB testing required today if we are to hand out OSGeo-Live on a USB at FOSS4G

[Cameron Shorter]

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.
