| | 5 | The FOSS4G Organising Committee have budget to distribute OSGeo-Live either on a DVD or USB. |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | Ideally we would have liked to distribute on a USB to all delegates however out of the 5 or so computers tested, we've had reports of at least 2 computers which can't boot from the USB. So we will distribute OSGeo-Live to all delegates on the well tested DVD version. |
| | 8 | |
| | 9 | However, if we can get test results from enough people by the end of this coming weekend, Sunday 15 August, an OSGeo-Live USB will be created and given to VIPs. |
| | 10 | |
| | 11 | Here is the deal: |
| | 12 | |
| | 13 | If we get: |
| | 14 | * 7+ test results, from a variety of different computers, showing a reasonable number of computers will work with a USB: |
| | 15 | * we will hand out OSGeo-Live USBs to the (more forgiving) FOSS4G presenters. Standard delegates will be given a Live-DVD. |
| | 16 | |
| | 17 | PS, the RC9 (hopefully final) version of OSGeo Live can be downloaded from: |
