Changes

'''Boot it''' is a Linux loader designed for use with disc images placed on an SD card or USB Device. It bypasses the need for partitioning by allowing the user to run a disc image in almost exactly the same way as one would run a Linux live CD, with the notable exception that the user can actually make changes to the "disc" during their Linux session. It can also boot normal Linux partitions.

==Known Problems==

== Known Problems ==

*If you have a USB mouse plugged in, it could interfere with the USB keyboard. If the keyboard doesn't work, then interchange the usb ports where they are plugged, or unplug the mouse.

*If you are booting a previously installed wiilinux (xwhiite or bliight installed in the second partition of your sdcard) you will have to copy the contents of the "extras" directory to the root of your wiilinux filesystem or it will give you a message that some files are missing (pivot_root, chroot, old-root).
