Re: G1G1-2008 US machines delivered with 8.1 build 708, not with 8.2 build 767

Thanks for all the comments, but could we please take this off the devel mailing list and have this conversation with the people who are working on support, and where it can do much more good? Thanks very much for the help. - Ed On 11/20/08 1:06 AM, S Page [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

Bert - You should assume nothing, and you should send questions about G1G1 distribution to help at laptop.org, not to a list of software developers - that's where you will find the folks who actually know what's going on g. - Ed On Nov 20, 2008, at 2:56 AM, Bert Freudenberg

G1G1-2008 US machines delivered with 8.1 build 708, not with 8.2 build 767

Received my 2 XOs ordered last Monday today. I was surprised they were booting up in 8.1 with the old sugar interface and not with 8.2. I was under the impression 8.2.0 was targeted for G1G1-2008, but this does not seem to be the case, at least not for the US machines currently in stock at Amazon.

Ton - Thanks for supporting the G1G1 program with your purchases! This year it was extremely important for us to have Amazon stocked with inventory so orders could be fulfilled and delivered right away, the first day of the program. That meant that manufacturing actually had to begin before 8.2

Ed, Thanks for the explanation. I am not new to OLPC, also participated in the first G1G1, but that XO is now with my grandson (and has 8.2 on it). Right now I am going to run olpc-update to get the new XOs on 8.2. ___ Devel mailing list

Interesting... So the wiki can't assume new users have 8.2, that means a lot of pages will need separate Latest release / Earlier releases sections and/or encourage users to upgrade. I wonder how many users with 8.1 will visit http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities and download more recent

Hi Ed, so since there is no stock in Europe can we assume that the machines ordered at the UK site will all come with 8.2? Makes support way easier. - Bert - On 20.11.2008, at 03:48, Ed McNierney wrote: Ton - Thanks for supporting the G1G1 program with your purchases! This year it
