Re: XS 05
Hi Henry We've been working on some tests here in the state of caldas, and we have installed the XS 0.5 dev03 http://xs-dev.laptop.org/xs/other/OLPCXS-0.5.1-dev03-i386.iso That's the link i got from Michael and it works great so far.

Questions 1) When i take the image from this one and install it into another, will i have two computers wchi are exactly the same? No. Each XO contains unique manufacturing data, stored in a non-volatile memory which is separate from the main (1GB) non-volatile memory. Moreover, when you boot an XO, it runs some software which dirties the filesystem. You'd want to clean the filesystem by undoing some of these edits before you clone the image onto lots of other machines. Dirty might be too general a word. Specifically there are a number of changes made to system files during the first boot of the machine which you might not want to copy between machines. (SSH keys, for instance, are generated once at first boot on every XO. Also, hardware-dependent information from the firmware is cached on the NAND after first boot.) We haven't worked on figuring out what pieces of the system are touched, so, as Michael notes, copying the machines can have unintended side effects. It seems that nearly everyone who tries to distribute images by cloning runs into some oddities. That said, it also seems that this method of customization is the most appealing and straightforward. It has come up several times recently and I think the time has come to properly evaluate it. Erik ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
