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:
