This is the Dogi way of installing Fedora on XO based on [1] where an other Computer is needed :

Preparation

• XO at newest sugarbuild candidate-767 with all updates
• 2 SD-Cards (or 1 SD-Card)
• 1 USB/SD Converter (or 1 USB-Stick)
• open a Shell activity and go to the USB/SD-Card (or USB-Stick) Folder (cd /media/xxxx-yyyy/):
• wget http://katzj.fedorapeople.org/olpc/livecd-iso-to-disk.sh
• wget http://katzj.fedorapeople.org/olpc/olpc-gnome.iso
• sudo yum install livecd-tools parted.i386
• go to the Journal activity and umount the SD-Card
• umount /media/xxxx-yyyy/ (I do not really understand the Sugar automount ability, but maybe you have to repeat this two umounting steps more often during the installation)
• use parted for having a fat32 partion with 2000MB
• open a Browser activity and follow the instructions to get DeveloperKey

Install

• sudo bash livecd-iso-to-disk.sh --xo --extra-kernel-args 3 olpc-gme.iso /dev/mmcblk0p1
• parted /dev/mmcblk0
• (parted) toggle 1 boot
• (parted) quit
• with DeveloperKey Installed (24h of waiting) you can boot fedora: press the power- and O-gamepad-button at the same time

Comments

• even with SD plugged in want to have the choise to boot sugar (dualboot)
• a kernel panic (maybe because Fedora livecd)
• I dont want to wait for more then 10min to boot fedora ... :P
• fonts in gnome are too big
