1. 512MB NAND is too small to install a regular installation of Fedora 12 on (The plug has no disk)
2. The plug does not have a BIOS
1. Fedora 12 was successfully installed on an SD card and booted from the SheevaPlug. The boot up time was quick as well, with minimal extra configuration required once booted it up (i.e. networking)
2. Following the HOW-TO page for upgrading U-boot (located in the Links section) was pretty simple, however making sure the uboot.bin file copies over to the USB drive is important for the device to actually read it and copy it over. 3. To configure U-boot, about 7 configuration commands were required, as soon as this was done and the device rebooted, the device selected the SD card and booted Fedora 12.
