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.

== Resources ==
* [http://dev.laptop.org/~cjb/rawhide-xo/ preliminary images]
* [http://dev.laptop.org/git/projects/fedora-xo/ sources]
* [https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-olpc-list/ mailing list]
* [irc://irc.freenode.net#fedora-olpc IRC]


== 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]]

Also see [[{{TALKPAGENAME}}]] for user reports.

== See also ==
* [ Sugar on a Stick]. "SoaS 2" are similar development builds based on Rawhide.
