[Server-devel] Customizing build 703 for mass deployment

2008-04-20 Thread Bryan Berry
I have created a wiki page detailing the customizations Nepal has
made to the 703 image, which includes installation of the gnuchess, and
man page rpms, the proprietary flash player, changing the display order
of activities, among other changes
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Nepal:_Testing%2C_QA%
2C_and_Configuration#Custom_XO_Build_Configuration  

Currently, I use an extremeley inelegant method to create standard
images for Nepal's deployment and I would very much like assistance in
finding a more elegant method. Michael Stone has been helping me hack
jffs2 images but I still haven't found a better method than booting into
an os image, loading rpms and changing settings, then using save-nand to
create a custom .img file.

Your recollection is correct and it is one of my extremely sore points 
with the current state of the XO.
There is no serious technical reason for not having MPP functionality on 
the XOs, besides the fact that we can't control the interaction with the 
XS. This is very broken...
