I've booted F11's anaconda that was released on the dvd in my prior testing.

Around Aug 5 I created an XS iso that is bootable on the XO, uname returns 2.6.29.6-213.fc11.i386 from tty2 in the installer. > >> - However, that means that making a bootable usb is harder for users. > > > > What causes it to be harder to make a bootable usb? > > To clarify -- a bootable installer.
