Yep, that would be great. Perhaps a sensitive question, but should 'we' now start to forget joyride and focus on images coming out of the SoaS effort? >> * boot felt slow, but usable as is (~2min on subsequent boots). > > I wonder how it does compare to joyride builds. Let me flash the nand back back to joyride (2639) and time it... OK, avg over 3 boots was joyride = 90sec (with full G1G1 activity/library data) vs. SoaS1 = 130sec. >> * some nasty stripy/bitty/strobing screens during boot cycle, but >> didn't >> last too long. > > When starting up X? Yes, as it hits X, it seemed worse on first boot (before name and colour UI requests), on subsequent boots it's 1-2sec of vibrating pixel gibberish before the screen blacks out prior to sugar cursor showing up. >> * all UI fonts are horrendously small, some dpi magic desperately >> needed :-) > > Can you open a ticket under the SoaS component, I'm not sure exactly > what is going on here, should be easy to fix anyway.

I'd love to help here, my understanding is SoaS is for many diverse HW types, so I can (currently) only test for 'activity works on SoaS for XO.' I'll install extra activities and report back. >> * about my Computer, Serial number, build, and firmware all 'not >> available' >> so I'm not sure what versions I'm testing (other than 'soas1' >> 0.83.x) - >> would be useful to have some of this for future ticket reporting >> >> * the network control panel is broken (clicking on it does nothing) >> so >> couldn't change default jabber server > > Tickets for these two would be good, both in the sugar component.

Yes, I'd seen some comments re: image size floating about, the smaller the better ;-) FWIW, clean re-flashing to joyride 2639 left a reported 701MB space available, then installing (manually) the full G1G1 set of data still left 636MB – so quite a way to go... >> Thanks for all the hard work that I'm sure has gone into getting SoaS >> working to this point! > > Thanks for all the testing, this is extremely useful!
