I just got my XO so I am really new to the whole OLPC/XO everything. Because I couldn't connect to my WPA with the build that came with my XO I spent a couple of days updating from build 650 to build 656. So the above plan seems strange to me. I have a slow DSL connection. It took me literally several hours to download 656. I tried several different methods of updating before I found a way (with a lot of help from #olpc) to complete the update. One of the ways I tried took over 4 hours to download 656. My point is that I wouldn't want something like this to start automatically if it required me to keep connected once it started. If it would break the download automatically over a period of time until it was all collected and then allow me to say when it would do the actual install that would be fine. I can imagine that some places in the world would be even more iffy . Since I didn't do the update the way it is defined in step 9 above, I don't know if it is done as I suggest or not. Maybe this is just for the G1G1 computers and that some other process is used in the other countries. I understand that I can set a state on my XO that will stop automatic updating. My question then becomes is there a listserve that I can sign up on to inform me of new updates? Something that doesn't have any other dialog, just announcements. > ... > > -walter _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar
