Caroline, I have nothing to add to what I wrote before as far as the boot diskette issue. However, I got an email about the need for new boot CDs which was responded to here:
http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/812#comment:1 The response includes a script to generate a boot CD for a given USB stick ISO. For me, this eliminates the need for boot diskettes and is a more satisfactory solution (Assuming the script works. I haven't had time to try it yet.) The boot diskette provided by PLOP does the job, so I don't see a need for making something specific to SoaS. I understand the appeal of sticking a boot diskette in the drive when the machine is turned off versus the quick reflexes you need to boot from a CD. It's just that even considering that the boot CD gives a better experience and probably always will.
