Prerequisite for Test Day

  • a USB Key (at least 2 GB)
  • the SoaS v2 Beta
  • some free space on your HD (optional)

How to test?

  • Download the following two files:
  • Verify by running sha1sum on the soas-2-beta.iso file that the downloaded version matches the published one:
    6b2a235251d545013c020ded05a8336eceff8114  soas-2-beta.iso
