I downloaded Soas2-200903271806.iso and ran latest LiveUSB-Creator 3.6.3 under Windows XP to put it and a 256 MB persistent storage area on a USB flash drive.

==~~Post Boot Observations~~==

Insert the USB flash drive, power on XO-1, hold down check key.

* The hot dog is back!

* After a minute the screen goes dark.

* After another 90 seconds of dark screen I get the blue swirl Login: screen with "liveuser",

* Log in.

* After several seconds that goes to dark screen, and a few seconds later I'm back at the blue Login: screen. :-(

In a console, <tt>~liveuser</tt> has no .sugar subdirectory, so it looks like

Sugar never got rolling.

The file "/var/log/slim.log" has various errors. There is no /home/liveuser/.Xauthority file, and

<tt>/home/liveuser</tt> is <tt>drwx-r-xr-x</tt> owned by root.

After running in a console

chown liveuser /home/liveuser

chgrp liveuser /home/liveuser

login proceeded fine. I filed http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/665

==== DHCP problems ====

In neighborhood view I see my old BEFWS11 Linksys access point, I click to connect, I get a password dialog, I enter my 128-bit WEP key. After a long pause I get the dialog again.

<tt>/var/log/messages</tt> suggests that NetworkManager is connected successfully to my AP:

Stage 2 of 5 (Device Configure) successful. Connected to wireless network '''mynet'''

but then it seems to fail in DHCP access

avahi-daemon(1932): Registering new address record for 'nn:nn' on eth0.*.

...

NetworkManager: <info> Device 'eth0' DHCP transaction took too long (>45s), stopping it.

and I get the dialog again.
