The project previously known as "F14 for XO" has been formalized into '''[[11.2.0|OLPC OS 11.2.0]]'''. |
|||
As of late 2010, OLPC has started working on a rebase of the OLPC OS platform onto [[Fedora]] 14, for the [[XO-1]] and [[XO-1.5]] laptops. |
|||
The build is relatively stable but has some obvious bugs, and lacks testing. |
|||
We are looking for experienced testers to help find and report bugs. |
|||
(via the [http://dev.laptop.org/ olpc] and [http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ sugar] bug trackers) |
|||
More concrete plans for release scope and schedule are expected to be finalized in late December 2010. |
|||
== Download == |
|||
Development builds are available here: |
|||
http://build.laptop.org/F14/ |
|||
New builds are announced on the [http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel devel mailing list], e.g. "[http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2010-November/030460.html F14 os3 development image released (XO-1 and XO-1.5)]" |
|||
To install from [[Open Firmware]] on an [[Activation_and_developer_keys | unlocked]] XO-1.5, download the .zd file to a USB drive and run: |
|||
ok fs-update u:\os''XX''.zd |
|||
To install from Open Firmware on an [[Activation_and_developer_keys | unlocked]] XO-1, download the .onu and .uim files and run: |
|||
ok update-nand u:\os''XX''.onu |
|||
== New features == |
|||
This list is unlikely to grow significantly going forward - we're looking to focus on stabilization and get this out the door. |
|||
* Fedora 14 |
|||
* Sugar 0.90 |
|||
* GNOME 2.32 |
|||
* Linux 2.6.35.9 |
|||
* XO-1 switched from jffs2 to partitioned image: jffs2 boot, ubifs root |
|||
* XO-1.5 switched from ext3 to ext4 |
|||
* Old OS images are not retained after olpc-update: http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2010-September/029889.html |
|||
* Activation initramfs split from "run" initramfs (for faster boot) |
|||
* "Run" initramfs slimmed down to 1.9mb (no python in any non-activation bootpath) (for faster boot) |
|||
* Package list trimmed for a smaller image (even though we've likely still grown from the F11 days, as Fedora gets bigger and bigger) |
