<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=688454505-26042007>Hi, I am part of a
trial in the Pacific islands region. We have a few B2s, running build
385/q2b87. Two issues we have are:</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=688454505-26042007>1. Installing new
boot image. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=688454505-26042007>Trying to test the
auto reinstallation image process. I have a number of USB disks and flash
drives. I followed the instructions and had the boot image extracted
from the zip onto the device in a primary partition. However, it won't boot
from the USB device but reports "Can't open the disk label package" and goes on
to boot from the internal image. I tried to interupt the countdown,
probed for USB2 devices and it finds the disk/flash drive and it shows as
an scsi device. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=688454505-26042007>We couldn't get a
group of 3 B2s to see each other. We are based in different countries so
only had a chance during a 2-hour meeting. They can see hotspots and connect
happily with them. I can see a wireless newtork "olpc-mesh" detected on my
Windows laptop. But with the three laptops in different corners of the same
hotel room, nothing appeared on the network neighbourhood screen apart from the
mesh network icon, flashing variously.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
