Hello, I managed to get my hands on a very old OLPC XO laptop for my daughter. I've been trying, unsuccessfully, to upgrade the OS to something current. The main issues are: My image has no olpc-update I tried to follow the wiki instruction to update olpc-update - alas that leads to more issues about missing python2.5 I tried to install python using apt/deb/dpkg but all of these fail since the apt/deb/dpkg tools are missing :( Looking at /etc/issue - I see build 417 - and some messages that look like errors "kernel \r \m ...." :) so maybe I have a pre-alpha build :) So ... I'm somewhat at a loss as to what my next steps are. My daughter seems pretty excited with the device and enjoys the "paint" application. I'd like to get a more recent build so she can use the newer apps/toos. Can you point me in the right direction ? Or am I wasting my time trying to do the impossible?
