That ISO for precise does NOT boot on a lot of PCs...
Unfortunately, the mini wont work very well... however there are some
PCs I have had it work with, though I was booting from GRUB manually (my
computer didn't boot from USB).
Anyhow,
once we test
INSTALLING the torios-desktop package on existing machines, and choosing
the
ToriOS session... we will know if everything works well enough to try it
on production PCs

I don't want anyone to test this session on a machine they are not
willing to reinstall on, or remove things manually.  I think it should
work, but again I don't know everything about GNU/Linux so I can't say
it will until we find out :)
