Now that we have F10 booting on the XO, and we understand the challenges around that, is it possible to boot a barebones F9, "backporting" whatever cleverness was applied to F10?
Is anyone interested in trying? It would open an opportunity to lots of small schools that need a rugged server.
The XS is likely to stay on F9 for a couple of minor releases -- until I find a good opportunity for a rebase, being a small team is hard :-/ -- so if F9 can be twisted into booting off and SD card, we get a valuable alternative in the form of XO + SD card + USB drive (for storage).
cheers,
