I have two problems related to the customization key and build 699. 1. Reflashing w/ customization key and os699 will wipe out .i18n
As far as I can tell no way to customize the locale using the Customization key. The XO's that have arrived in Nepal do not have Nepal set as the country nor Nepali as the language in the firmware's Manufacturing Data. That means upon reflashing of the XO w/ a signed image, the XO defaults back to the language specified in the firmware, which is not Nepali. 2. No fz.zip file for 699. That means we can't use the customization key. The wiki page for Customization Key says that we need the fs.zip file to install the customized build. I don't see an fs.zip in the build directory for 699. When might there be an fs.zip file for 699? I have created a ticket for the .i18n issue http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/6689 We really want to use build 698 or 699 because the Nepali locale works properly in those builds but is not present in 656 or 653. It is quite critical that teachers and kids be able to reflash their XO's by simply sticking in a USB key and holding down the game buttons. I know some folks like John Gilmore feel that everyone has an inalienable right to access the firmware, but we have two pilot schools starting in one month where virtually none of the kids or teachers have every used computers. We need to make the restoration of the XO image as simple as possible during the beginning of the pilot. We want the teachers and kids to get comfortable w/ computers in general before we introduce them to flash u:\boot\q2D13.rom I know I ask for a lot of help but I really appreciate the assistance of all the folks in OLPC-land.
