Hi, Adam<br>
<br>
George Hunt's image installs Moodle 1.9.5+ (build 20090910). There
was a major change in Moodle between 1.9 and 2+. So far as I know,
XS has always used Moodle 1.9.<span class="m_-373885870100460069m_7455483284794582382m_1598978651058136075m_6198158536955445904HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
