Being an OFW novice I opted to build a multi-boot olpc.fth to be able to
boot the internal/external mmc slots or usb. I didn't want to mess
around with the internal olpc.fth, just yet, for fear of messing that up
while testing. I just created a USB "boot-disk" with below olpc.fth
file:

Not sure if option 4 is valid anymore...

Perhaps this could be made available by default in the install?
Just a choice between internal/external would be enough, to enable
testing of a second image. 

Should be able to use filesystem labels here also. LABEL=OLPCRoot for
the internal, maybe OLPCRoot2 for the external. That would leave just
labeling the filesystem to the tester.  

Is the WiFi suppose to work with the School Mesh out of the box?
I saw the patches on the NM list, just wondering... If not, could you
point me to some repo/rpms that could enable is? 

Thanks 

Jerry
