Announcing an updated build of Tiny Core Linux for the OLPC XO. This is useful for testing, diagnosis, and recovery of filesystems on an unlocked XO.
My thanks to George Hunt, Yioryos Asprobounitis and Jerry Vonau for the contributions. Features: - runs on XO-1, XO-1.5, XO-1.75, or XO-4, - configured for a single root shell in text mode, with alternate consoles available for login, - based on Core 4.7.7, uses the OLPC kernel from 13.2.0-8, and includes latest signed Open Firmware versions for automatic upgrade, - includes wireless firmware for each laptop, and wireless tools from Tiny Core Linux.
