Thanks for the update - I'd previously got that far *and* even had the patience to get on my home Wifi - after that my XO hung / went completely glacial.
I'll try the latest recipe later tonight.
I presume the build we're using has the absolute bear minimum services enabled so no pruning is required ?
I didn't find pruning services all that important - if you boot the stock image to run level 3, you'll only see around 40MB of RSS. The killer is the GNOME desktop stuff. You can save maybe 10MB by turning off setroubleshoot and another few MB by turning off bluetooth, but the real advantages are in tuning the GNOME session.
Also - swap is essential -
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/TestPlans/XO_Performance#Swap_space.3F
has instructions for turning on swap once your XO has booted.

Success (well..alot more)
- pulled down the latest
- Ran the following
./livecd-iso-to-disk.sh --noverify --reset-mbr --xo --overlay-size-mb 512 --swap-size-mb 0 F10-Snap1-i686-Live/F10-Snap1-i686-Live.iso /dev/sdb1

Couple of comments:
- GDK has not updated his blog
- The initial boot is very slow, with no feedback (no hotdog man)
- many windows are much snappier.
- new windows such as font preferences and terminal preferences are
painfully slow (the latter is going on 5 mins) 5) Still get kernel panic at the beginning
But.. much further along.
