[BillingsLUG] OLPC Road Show video and pictures

[Caryl Bigenho]

Hi Scott,


Thanks for all the great work you did prepping for the meeting Thursday night.  Thanks to you, things went very smoothly.


I also appreciate your posting of the video, and am attaching the pdf file to this email.  I watched the whole thing...I guess I need to go on a diet!  (Seeing yourself as others see you).  Having it there will make it possible for those who could not attend the meeting to see what went on.  If any of them have questions you can't answer, you can have them email me at caryl at laptop.org


I will post some of the photos on the OLPC wiki.  Thanks for those too.


I tried the SoaS Live CD on my Mac Thursday back at the motel.  It worked fine, but strange things happened after I shut down and wanted to go back to the Mac OS.  My Mac seemed to think it was a PC and kept booting into Windows (which I have installed on a partition on my hard disk).


The folks at SugarLabs claim that the Live CD will not touch anything on your hard disk, but evidently it did.  I finally went into the "Preferences" and asked it to use my Mac HD as the preferred startup disk.  I haven't tried it again yet to see if the problem can be duplicated.  Have you had this happen with any of the Macs in the computer lab? Do they have partitioned disks with Windows installed (via Bootcamp?  


Caryl
