It was mostly a matter of finding the right combination of firmware,
OS, etc... I think some of the web pages are out of date... but
I fired up my B2 XO 1.5 unit yesterday, the power light came on, then
went off, and now it won't power up at all. The same power supply works
fine with a G1G1 unit. I was planning on using it for demos at SCALE 8x
next month, any ideas ? I've tried using other power supplies, even a

You can get the codec support by installing these packages from livna:

Gnash can already handle both Ogg and Theora as external files just
fine.

Which is the easiest way. You can also develop natively on Fedora 7,

Done. I added an explanation, removed the older snapshot, and added

Since ffmpeg isn't (and I assume never will be) included in the OLPC
builds, I built a binary tarball of Gnash with full audio and video
support for those of us that won't run the Adobe plugin. The Gnash build
for 406 has no video support enable for Flash codecs.
