Totally into that. I would also like to borrow someones locally to do 
some outreach at the school. BTW.. I picked up the following at circuit 
city today (paid about 5 to 10 bucks too much.. but hey.. the economy is 
great right?).

I followed the same directions as earlier:

And only had the following issues:

1) I had to change my wifi router to be channel (1).
2) I had to make the new media card bootable:


# /sbin/parted /dev/sdb
(parted) print
Model: Multi Flash Reader (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdb: 2033MB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos

Number  Start  End     Size    Type     File system  Flags
  1      127kB  2031MB  2031MB  primary  fat16

(parted) toggle 1 boot
(parted) quit


20 hours and 5 minutes till my key is ready :)
