Tabitha, check to see if the deployment can use unlocked laptops; and if the policy is acceptable, we can assist with use of Collection stick and unlocking.
(The laptops can be unlocked by the user within 24 hours by following the processes that OLPC made available ... so the only way the locking mechanism could be used to exert control by the school is if the users weren't allowed to use them without supervision ... and use without supervision is one of the whole points of One Laptop per Child. And given that the locking mechanism is so weak, and the benefits of unlocking are so strong, I presume that the reason they remain locked is through ignorance of the processes. Basing a control on ignorance is unsustainable.) -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
