Actually, it's not that much of a problem (a mere $50 or so). More of an issue is my impatience, I was hoping to test it today - the download for the XO would take about 10 hours on my connection. If there's no quick answer I'll download it overnight.

Our goal with the 'reference' hardware and software is to provide a known set of stuff which 'just works.' While other hardware, software, and features might work... they have not been tested. Maybe george or jerry have a good answer for you. At the risk of carbon dating myself... I grew up in the era where my nerdy friends and I drooled over the pages of 'Computer Shopper' for a 9.6 kbit/s modem. Auto Resume for stalled downloads was a life saver:) Now, for simplicity, our testing involves reflashing everything to get back to a known state. As you point out, that is probably not the best assumption for low bandwidth areas.
