David:

If you want to use a single interface XS and can boot from USB, then I
suggest that you look at using what I wrote for olpc-au. The iso from:
http://download.laptop.org.au/XS/F9/XS-AU/iso/ has all the F9 updates
and XS-updates rolled up in it. What make the single interface XS is the
kickstart files that are provided when you use (tested on F12): 

http://download.laptop.org.au/XS/F9/XS-AU/tools/mkusbinstall-F12forXSAU

mkusbinstall-F12forXSAU --reset-mbr --getkickstart <isopath> <usbstick \
device> 

That will setup the flashdisk as an installer, grab the kickstart files
that customize the XS to a single interface version. You then just have
to use Sridhar's mini-howto, but use mkusbinstall-f12forXSAU as above.
You can skip copying the kickstart files and start at 2. open local.cfg
in a text editor.

Think that might be easier, it works out of the box.
