Features for Soas v4

http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/Revised_Browse_default-bookmarks.html (Approved)

http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Creation_Kit#Build_Your_Own_Remix

http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/Soas_V4/SugarCreationStation An install CD (to HD) with all the features needed to make soas-remixes (Ideas)

Created Custom Remixes with Information on desktop ready to install with zyx-liveinstaller but ran into a problem: File structure on HD created with zyx-liveinstaller fills up / and quits 70% way thru a build. I have contacted dmc Douglas McClendon to find out why.

Build and upload Virtual Appliances for Virtual box and VMPlayer

Have Soas-v3 Mirabelle and Soas v2-Blueberry available in both versions.

Helped Walter on this section: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/User:Walter/Get_Sugar#Virtual_Machines_on_all_platforms

added section on Virtualization to Sugar Creation Kit wiki page.http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Creation_Kit#QEMU_Virtualization with Virtualbox and VMplayer sections below it.

I think the migration from the XO to these portable booting Memory sticks, which work on many Platforms is very exciting! Congratulations to all of the hard working people working on this Project.....
