This is a page for notes and test results for the http://dev.laptop.org/~cjb/rawhide-xo/ development builds.

What is it?

A "spin" of Fedora rawhide (the development version of Fedora 11 Linux) incorporating recent Linux software packages, the Sugar desktop UI and a more conventional Gnome desktop.

As such it is sort of a replacement for the cutting-edge joyride OS images that OLPC used to produce. See Future releases for the change in plans. As such builds are very raw and often may not work at all.

Differences from OLPC images

Many of these are probably shared with "Sugar on a Stick" Live USB, and should be on a common page.

  • the default user is liveuser, not olpc
  • liveuser can't use sudo to run commands as root (but can run su -l to become root).
  • many olpc commands missing, such as olpc-init
  • different file system
    • /efi instead of /ofw
    • /home/liveuser instead of /home/olpc


Known issues

  • Keyboard map alert.
  • Can't choose Gnome or Sugar after desktop login
  • No power management until you install Ohm
