Apologies if this has been explored before, I have not been able to stay current. I am posting on both Sugar and OLPC dev lists.
I live in Solomon Islands, where we have very poor Internet access and downloading is affected by satellite latency etc. I just tried to install the latest stable for XO1, advertised as 883 / 11.3.0 on one of my few XO-1s. I have not had access to any higher versions of the XO and am working with a programme in PNG which has XO-1s. I downloaded the image (BTW in Solomon Islands that cost me USD 85) using a download manager Star Downloader (to protect me against Internet drop outs). It downloaded with no errors reported. I then tried to install on my XO using a flashdrive as per the usual 4-game key method. On first attempt it failed during the part where you see the progress indicated graphically with the memory grid in green yellow and black. It says: 4ce Bad hash for eblock# 4ca Your USB key may be bad...please see http:/wiki.laptop.org/go/Bad_hash The diagnosis is that it's either bad flashdrive or bad download. I tried 2 other flashdrives that have successfully been used before, and same result at same place. So i conclude I have just thrown USD 85 down the toilet. Can anyone with similar or relevant experience comment. David in Solomon Islands "Not Happy"
