Testing SOAS 4 Mango Lassi on a 32-bit PC. Image used is Fedora-14-i686-Live-SoaS.iso and installed using Fedora LiveUSB Creator 3.9.2 on a 2GB flashdrive that has been tested OK with Marabelle. I used 498 MB of persistent storage.
Tried in two different computers, reformatted (FAT) and tried again. All I get is this on boot (below), it does not proceed any further...... I guess maybe I have the wrong iso or something??
