Did livecd-iso-to-disk with soas68xo.iso to USB stick, then tried to
boot my XO-1. Got no further than booting with soas68xo.img. No X.
[Creating the USB stick (I don't have Fedora) seemed to take much
longer than what I remember from doing it with previous builds.]

If one then presses <esc>, one is shown a text console with:
/sbin/dmsquash-live-root: 166: grep: not found
dracut Warning: Machine in enforcing mode and cannot execute
load-policy.
dracut Warning: To disable selinux, add selinux=0 to the kernel
command line.
dracut Warning: Not continuing
So I added selinux-0 to the kernel command line, and tried booting.
This time the fedora progress bars eventually go to town. Pressing
<esc> shows the end of the boot-process bring-up, and eventually a
screen with a "plaza pavement" background and a login window in the
center saying "Automatically logging in ...". Nothing more happens
(I waited half an hour, just in case it was installing Activities,
or something). [This time the bottom edge of the screen (in
addition to allowing "Language" and "Keyboard" selection and some
icons) includes an icon that shows the messages-during-boot - but
nothing on the bottom edge helps start the user's X session.]
X is stuck. [Nothing that looks wrong in /var/log.]

I can get into a text console (alt-ctl-F2) -- but for me, trying to
run from soas68xo.iso on an XO-1 is a failure.
