David: If you want to use a single interface XS and can boot from USB, then I suggest that you look at using what I wrote for olpc-au. The iso from: http://download.laptop.org.au/XS/F9/XS-AU/iso/ has all the F9 updates and XS-updates rolled up in it. What make the single interface XS is the kickstart files that are provided when you use (tested on F12): http://download.laptop.org.au/XS/F9/XS-AU/tools/mkusbinstall-F12forXSAU mkusbinstall-F12forXSAU --reset-mbr --getkickstart <isopath> <usbstick \ device> That will setup the flashdisk as an installer, grab the kickstart files that customize the XS to a single interface version. You then just have to use Sridhar's mini-howto, but use mkusbinstall-f12forXSAU as above. You can skip copying the kickstart files and start at 2. open local.cfg in a text editor. http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/server-devel/2010-May/004926.html Think that might be easier, it works out of the box.
