[Adam Gill]

Hi Jon,
Can you remind us what exactly we have to put on ther 2gb ..... how to 
format it ...what to unpack on the sd card ... can the data be copied 
there or how to do ..

I just cannot get my netbook to boot  ..... however many times I  try or 
however many different ways i put the data on the sd card  ....

There must be a wat to get this netbook to boot without having to send 
it back to the factory ...

Adam
