How to install unsigned build 4 of release 13.2.0 on XO-4.

    • Obtain a Developer key and disable security,
    • Check that the battery is inserted and locked,
    • Check that the power cord is in place and the battery indicator is green,
    • Turn off the laptop, unless it is already off,
    • Insert the USB drive into any USB port on the laptop,
  • Start installing:
    • Obtain the Ok prompt,
    • Type the command: (If you are using an SD card, substitute sd:\ for u:\ below.)
fs-update u:\32004o4.zd

Installation progress will be displayed. Green colour will fill grey blocks. It will take about five minutes. Once finished, the Ok prompt will return. You may remove the USB or SD drive. The laptop may be rebooted using the boot command or the power button.
