[Server-devel] XS Community Edition: XO 1.75 installtion

[tkkang at nurturingasia.com]

Great getting support for the list.

No it is a brand new XO 1.75 which have not been unlocked. Is that a must?

What is the typical setup ? As the XO internal Wifi can be turned into a WiFi I will need a external AP connected to my USBEthernet plug. To get internet access I will then need another USBEthernet plugin with connection for wired internet access. It will so nice that the XO internal wifi can act as a AP making less need for external AP!

Looking forward to future addition. The ability for the XO to server as a webs erver while providing connection for other XOs is really a great start - esp for small deployments!

Great weekend to all.
