Yes, soon. In the meantime, this is a compressed tar file with one sparse file in it that is a set of partitions, the one member of which is an ext3 filesystem: http://people.sugarlabs.org/~mtd/soas-xo1/soasxo50.removable.img.tar.lzma ...which is a mouthful to describe but useful to use like: cat soasxoXX.removable.tar.lzma | lzma -dc - | tar xf - -O - > /dev/sdX ... in order to get a 4GB removable drive (subject to the dangers of re-partitioning said drive[1]) with a ext3 partition for booting on an XO-1. Right now one has to edit its olpc.fth appropriately so it boots from the USB/SD device one is using, but I will be rebuilding an image with a better olpc.fth soon now that I've got a key OFW tip. From that process I will get: soasxoXX.iso - iso9990 file system (for use with livecd-iso-to-disk) soasxoXX.img - for ... soasxoXX.crc - ... copy-nand'ing soasxoXX.plc - ... NANDblast'ing soasxoXX.removable.img.tar.lzma - for dd'ing to a removable device soasxoXX.tree.tar.lzma - for untarring, hacking, and re-tarring as you want to do I hope to merge the build changes necessary to soas's main git repo so we can get similar artifacts out of SoaS3 builds soon. I can do something similar for F11-on-XO-1 if that's interesting to the F11-on-XO-1 people. > I'd like to make some changes like this and add some > activities before I NANDblast the image out.
