I apologize to Tony, George and any others confused by this thread. I
am still learning how to balance my various roles and responsibility
to the project and ecosystem.
In the back ground, Tony and I have been having a separate thread

Hi,
I think this should be done in the overall context of XSCE as proposed
by David Farning. I think of what I am doing as a system and not as
isolated pieces. The ds-backup is independent because it only addresses
backup and restore of the Journal. However, this is going to become more

Hi Tony,
When you sent me your ds-backup script to migrate student datastore to the
server based upon the "favorite" star in the journal, I downloaded the olpc
repo, and added your version as a branch, and uploaded it to

A brief update.
George and Jerry made progress getting IIaB to run on the XSCE. It is
running, but needs some clean up. Braddock has been a great help.

Creating a place to share and record this knowledge is as important as the code!

Hi,
Thanks again. The laptops are good to go for this school year (12.1.0).
I will be able to work the collection stick problem when I return to the
schools (probably in December).
I'll double check the flash time to check for variability between units.
At these schools all the laptops are XO

Hi,
Thanks again for this!
What I gather is that we should use Nandblast from an XO for reflash.
For a time it was not supported for XO-1.5, but my current understanding
is that it supported for all versions of XO.
In Lesotho, the flash was taking 15min from boot to reboot for
registration.

Hi,
Thanks for the update.
The 'locked' XO problem derives from XOs distributed in the minimum 100 XO
purchase - many of these are locked. Also, in Rwanda the policy is to
keep the laptops locked even though they have indefinite leases.
My current plans are to visit these schools in December

Hi,
This is in response to your comments.
There have been recent conversations with the Trimslice manufacturer, to
get a version which has 2-4GB memory, quad core processor, and 2 ethernet
connections.
Great! It appears comparable products based on the new Intel Atom chips
may not be available
