Open Firmware will boot from any media present; it tries USB first, then external SD card slot, then whatever the internal storage is. > If this is still the simple case, I am missing why this is not > possible on an unlocked XO-1 .

(x is > \boot\olpc.fth) Manual boot from SD card is available on XO-1 firmware, but it is not needed, because Open Firmware will boot from any media present. > I have recently installed on XO-1.5 , 13.2.0 on SD (class 10) with > Firefox and Flash (per Jame's fine posts here).

Next time you do this it will be slower. Yes, modern cards can be quite fast. Look for one with a specified write speed designed for video recording, and it might increase the performance of the whole system. -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
