Hi,

I re-downloaded the USB stick img.  The size was the same.  I also 
summed (after unzipping) both the new and old download an they are the same.
I figured that I'd put the CD contents on a stick if I can.
Are there any specific differences between CD and Stick that I should 
look at?

Thanks,
Glenn
