|Requirements=Easy GUI update of OS over net or from USB; Mostly for G1G1 but useful for all. |
|||
* Must allow upgrade of new XO Software via the Software Control Panel |
|||
* Must allow install from OLPC server using build name (same as olpc-update script but now in GUI) |
|||
* Must allow configuration (including setting default via the Image Customization feature) of a School Server or another server or a USB stick as the source of the image. |
|||
* Must allow setting of "latest" image when choosing what to download. e.g. on the School Server there should be a directory where you can place the "latest image". Then the XO user should be able to get the "latest image" off the school server without specifying the build number. |

(I believe this needs to be divided into 'customization key' and initial install. The install has to do with the logistics, USB keys and wireless downloads. Customization has to do with how the image is created before the logistics of how to get it on laptops. [[User:Kimquirk|Kimquirk]] 17:25, 9 October 2008 (UTC)) |

Many deployments have noted how hard it is to install or upgrade, especially on thousands of XOs. One issue is that inevitably, the Xos ship from the factory with an older build and countries need to upgrade them before deploying. I call that "upgrade in a warehouse". In other cases the XOs get deployed but there is little or no WAN available to upgrade. |
