Hello, am a very satisfied user of Z6.4 and using a live and an installed verion on usb flash drives.
I really want to follow through on this "software patents" issue in the fine print on the download page. I don't want to promote an os which is not legal in my country Australia which has all the laws supporting patents.

Can anyone provide info on what i have to delete to make Zorin street legal in Oz?

Now back to Z8, I tried it live on my 8gb usb stick worked fine then installed it on a 16gb usb drive and it went slow, a bit hesitant. So went back to Z6.4. cheers rod

Hi
When using USB live drive there are performance deviations in read and writing speeds to be considered when selecting an USB Flach Drive type. The reading speed is more important that it is high. If you don't get any speed specifications. Select a USB 2.0/3.0 specified drive so "by default" it is a high speed drive.
