<p class=MsoNormal>There were kernel problems with 11.3.1 which kept us from
getting the XO-1.5 to become an XSCE. It was only with the 13.1.0
release, that we were able to get the network adapters to work properly after a
reboot.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>So I'm afraid that everyone will save a lot of time, and
pain, in the long run, if the install procedure is followed exactly. (<a

</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>We were not able to test adequately the offline install for
subsequent XSCE installations to have it be part of the 0.3 release. But for
situations where internet access is slow, and expensive, it is possible to use
a USB stick to transfer the rpm packages contained in the /var/yum/cache from
the first XSCE to the next one, and greatly speed up the install process. (And
if you leave a USB stick in the XSCE, during the first install, it is our
intention, and design, that the /var/yum/cache will be copied to that USB stick
during the install process on that first machine -- and then used automatically
on a subsequent install)<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Hmm, that is an interesting point that we kind of took for
granted.<br>
<br>
Our goal with the 'reference' hardware and software is to provide a<br>
known set of stuff which 'just works.' While other hardware, software,<br>
and features might work... they have not been tested.<br>
<br>
Maybe george or jerry have a good answer for you.<br>
<br>
At the risk of carbon dating myself... I grew up in the era where my<br>
nerdy friends and I drooled over the pages of 'Computer Shopper' for a<br>
9.6 kbit/s modem. Auto Resume for stalled downloads was a life saver:)<br>
<br>
Now, for simplicity, our testing involves reflashing everything to get<br>
back to a known state. As you point out, that is probably not the best<br>
assumption for low bandwidth areas.<br>
