[edit] Customizing the XO
See Logistics first. Basic customization is covered there.
[edit] Customizing Build
- Install os image 703 from Forth prompt copy-nand u:\os703.img --> you must have os703.img and os703.crc on your USB key
- Power off
- Insert USB key that has Customization Key v2 installed on it
- Hold down X game key then turn on the XO
- Release the game key when prompted to do so
- The Activity pack should install itself and then power off
- Boot up and make your changes, such as installing rpms
- When done, delete the user-specific changes you have made
- rm -r /home/olpc.sugar/default
- rm /var/lib/dbus/machine-id
- There may be other machine-specific settings that I am not aware of but should be deleted
- Reboot
- Go to the Forth prompt and type save-nand u:\os703-b1.img, this will also generate a u:\os703-b1.crc file
- Clone other XO's using these two files
We need a list of activities we are going to use.
Testing of the activities with the build we are going to use.
[edit] Use Traditional Nepali unicode in your XO
To change the keyboard setting so that you can type in both English and Nepali.
- sudo vi /etc/sysconfig/keyboard
- change
XKB_MODEL="olpc" XKB_LAYOUT="us" XKB_VARIANT="olpc" KEYTABLE="us"
to
XKB_MODEL="olpc" XKB_LAYOUT="us,np" XKB_VARIANT="olpc2,olpc" KEYTABLE="us"
- Goto .i18n and change the value of LANG to "ne_NP.UTF-8"
- Copy http://dev.laptop.org/~sayamindu/trad_np_xkb/locale.dir to /usr/share/X11/locale.dir
- Copy http://dev.laptop.org/~sayamindu/trad_np_xkb/.XCompose to /home/olpc/
- Copy http://dev.laptop.org/~sayamindu/trad_np_xkb/olpc-session to /usr/bin/
- Change the file "/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/np" to the following:
// $XKeyboardConfig: xkeyboard-config/symbols/np,v 1.3 2007-11-21 22:53:38 svu Exp $
// based on a keyboard map from an 'xkb/symbols/dev' file

- Reboot your XO and use the Multiplication/Division key to change input language
- For some reason, switching language doesn't work for the Write activity. This can be solved using the preeti font. The language switching works fine in other activities like chat.
[edit] Adding Nepali to Speak Activity
- Install the latest espeak in your desktop
- Copy the folder "espeak-data" to /usr/share/ directory in the XO
- Add the line "translator hi" at the end of this file "/usr/share/espeak-data/voices/ne"
[edit] Additional Customization
- Install the Language Pack
- Install the script.
[edit] Essential RPM's
[edit] RPM's to display man pages
- Install groff-1.18.***.i386
- Install man-1.6f-***.i386
- copy /etc/man.config from linux machine to xo under same location
- Copy Man folder /usr/share/man into into xo
[edit] Flash 9
- rpm -ivh <flash-plugin-rpm-name>.rpm
[edit] Gnuchess
- rm /usr/games/gnuchess -- for some reason there appears to be a symbolic link here by default that causes problems
- cp /usr/bin/gnuchess /usr/games/ note: for whatever reason, ln -s /usr/bin/gnuchess /usr/games doesn't work
