Is your 1.75 locked?

Your best bet is to have all your interfaces plugging in before booting
the XO, otherwise when we detect the number of interfaces we will miss
installing some components that is vital to using the XS as a router. We
prompt if we detect less than what is required for a router, but I
prefer to have the interfaces appear in the same order as what the
kernel will find if just rebooted. This is more of an issue when your
using 2 usb based interfaces and not using the XO's internal wifi.

I would prefer if you could use 12.1.0-21 as a starting point as that is
what we are testing with. If you can't do that, please ensure your
network adaptor is inserted before booting then run the install.

Moodle is left uninstalled, but can be added later if wanted/needed,
instructions to follow.

Thanks for the valuable feedback,
