| Procedure | USB upgradeAt the terminal prompt in your root shell, type: /usr/sbin/olpc-update --version The first line of the response should be something like: olpc-update 2.12, Copyright (C) 2007 One Laptop Per Child Association, Inc. If you don't even have the --version option, (this includes all G1G1 laptops shipped before July 2008) or if it does not say that you are using at least version 2.0 of olpc-update, you will need to update olpc-update before continuing. Now follow one of the build links in the "latest releases" box above. You need to download two files to the top directory of your USB flash drive: Insert your USB flash drive with these files on it into your XO. At the terminal prompt, type: sudo olpc-update --usb When olpc-update is finished, you should reboot to start using your new build. As with other update sources, the update mechanism preserves the build from which you ran the updater as an "alternate" image from which you can boot. To swap the "primary" and "alternate" images, hold the 'O' gamepad key during boot. | ||
