Caryl, If you do choose to use a Boot Helper CD make sure you test booting up from it before you go. When I tried Blueberry myself I found that I could boot off the USB itself just fine on a newer PC that supports booting directly from USB. However, I tried using two other older machines that needed a boot helper CD and neither of them was able to boot with the CD. The pretty boot art with the circle of dots seems to work OK until it is time to draw the final two dots and then it hangs. Note that I have used these machines with Strawberry and earlier SoaS and their corresponding boot CDs, so the evidence seems to point to the helper CD itself.
I did report this on BugTraq: http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/1626 James Simmons > Date: Mon, 28 Dec 2009 15:47:25 -0800 > From: Caryl Bigenho <[email protected]> > Subject: [IAEP] Need Live CD to take to Argentina > To: IAEP SugarLabs <[email protected]>, Developers List > <[email protected]> > Message-ID: <[email protected]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" > > > H All i... > > > Did this ever get implemented?
