</div>It works! I just plugged in the SD card, turned on the Mele, and there it was.<br>
<br>
Um, but I can't login. Tom, what is the "Ubuntu System User" (root) password?<br></blockquote><div>If watch the video carefully, you will see the password is "ubuntu", without ". </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

I conducted an experiment, I did the "dd if=/dev/zero of=dummyfile"<br>
thing on both of the partitions, then made another image. using lzma,<br>
with default compression-level (6), the size of the file is 931MB -- a<br>
considerable reduction.<br>
<br>
That is too big for me to upload though. If someone else can go<br>
through that exercise and create a small image (or do the alternative<br>
tarball or whatever) that would be great.<br>
Otherwise, I can go to a friend's place with faster upload speed, and upload it.<br>
