XO: Success with 4 Gig Card

[Rich Sharples]

Thanks for the update - I'd previously got that far *and* even had the 
patience to get on my home Wifi - after that my XO hung / went 
completely glacial.

I'll try the latest recipe later tonight.

I presume the build we're using has the absolute bear minimum services 
enabled so no pruning is required ?

> 1) GDK has not updated his blog
> 2) The initial boot is very slow, with no feedback (no hotdog man)
> 3) many windows are much snappier.
> 4) new windows such as font preferences and terminal preferences are 
> painfully slow (the latter is going on 5 mins)
> 5) Still get kernel panic at the beginning
