Hi Caroline<br>
<br>
Volunteers roped into slave labour was the key to getting all those<br>
USB keys setup with SoaS. Seriously, I don't know, Alastair and Carl<br>
did it. Copied them in, don't think they will mind sharing how they<br>
did it. After weeks of trying to get it setup right and installing<br>
properly, on the day it took hardly any time at all. We did test a<br>
good portion booted to be sure before handing them out. We used USB<br>
hubs and two laptops.<br>
<br>
Kind regards<br>
Tabitha<br>
<br>
