Yes, indeed. There's a distinct lack of a friendly manual. Maybe this is something we could do as a community? The OLPC folks have to be stretched pretty thin! :-D The olpcnews forums that I mention below would be the place to try to start something like that perhaps? Or do the Mavens at MIT have a plan that the rest of us could help with?
Re the question about access points: the Green Machine does not play well with WPA security. If that's what you have, there's a workaround here: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/WPA_Manual_Setting . It'll probably seem geeky to people new to Linux, but judging by comments, some of them have tackled it successfully too. It worked for me. There's also scuttlebutt that the next software upgrade to the XO operating system will solve the wpa problem. But I don't know how hairy the upgrading process will be. Maybe best to start getting used to the command line now :-\ . (And maybe also wondering when an ubuntu version will be offered as an option! Sugar is great. Don't get me wrong. But also oddly limiting in unexpected ways.) Elaine's links to the User Guide and Support page are bursting with good material. The Support FAQ is a gold mine, too. (Linked on the Support page.) Another source of help is http://www.olpcnews.com, and the related forums (olpcnews.com/forums). They don't replace a good manual since information can be scattered and require too much digging, but at least it's there! Cheers to all, and wonderful holidays! quixote. -- http://molvray.com/acid-test _______________________________________________ Olpc-open mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/olpc-open
