Sorry to chime in so late, but the Italian team can change the language in the firmware w/out permanently disabling security. from Forth: OK disable-security [reboots] OK disable-security [reboots] OK change-tag LO it_IT.UTF-8 (whatever the codes are for Italy) OK enable-security w/ these steps you can go back to firmware security and Sugar would default to Italian. >What OLPC means by "not supported" should not be overstated. Kim may >want to correct me on this, but the way I interpret it is: "please >don't >call us if your custom build has problems". Of course, when one finds a >problem that can be reproduced also in Update.1, you can report it and >ask it to be fixed in the next release, of course, subject to the >severity >of the problem and the available engineering resources. The other nagging issue w/ using stable releases from OLPC is that you have to change the Jabber server manually to the local Jabber server. That's a lot of work on several thousand XO's. I have an unproven theory that the XMPP traffic can disable networking on XO's when you get more than 40 XO's in a small space and using AP's. This is just from anecdotal not serious research.
