This page once was the home for the efforts to get Fedora 11 running on the XO-1 hardware, following in the footsteps of [[F11 for 1.5]]. Since that time, the work was completed and formalized into several OLPC OS releases known as the 10.1 series (for XO-1, starting at 10.1.2). For more information, see '''[[Releases]]'''.

OLPC and others are [[Future_releases|developing]] a new [[Fedora]] based operating system for both the [[XO-1]]. It includes various improvements and modernizations over the previous released version for the XO-1 hardware used many [[deployments]] and [[G1G1|donors]].

== Installation ==

(Separate [[Release_notes/10.1.2|Revised Release Notes]] expected shortly.)

The build is installed to the internal storage. You will need a USB memory stick of at least 1Gb capacity, but only for the duration of the installation.

'''ALL USER DATA WILL BE ERASED FROM THE LAPTOP!'''

*Prepare the USB memory stick:
**Download [http://build.laptop.org/10.1.2/xo-1/os301/os301.img os301.img],
**Save the file to the top directory of a USB memory stick,
**Download [http://build.laptop.org/10.1.2/xo-1/os301/os301.crc os301.crc]
**Save the file to the top directory of a USB memory stick,
**Check the USB memory stick contains at least the two files os301.img and os301.crc,

*Prepare the XO-1 laptop:
**Make a copy of any data you wish to keep,
**Obtain a [[Developer key]] and disable security,
**Ensure the battery is in the laptop,
**Connect the laptop to external power,
**[[Shutdown|Turn off]] the laptop, unless it is already off.
**Insert the USB memory stick into any USB port on the laptop,

*Start installing:
**Obtain the [[Ok]] prompt,
**Type the command:
copy-nand u:\os300.img

Installation progress will be displayed. Green colour will fill black blocks. Once finished, the laptop will return to the [[Ok|ok]] prompt. [[Reboot]]. Remove the USB memory stick during or after the reboot. The USB memory stick can be used on other laptops.

OLPC is not the only one making XO-1 operating system builds. You can also obtain builds from others in the wider community:

* Bernie Innocenti, Sugar Labs, Paraguay Educa and Activity Central, in collaboration with Plan Ceibal, and other volunteers are maintaining a build of Sugar 0.88 on Fedora 11 for XO-1, see [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Deployment_Team/Sugar-0.88_Notes more at Sugar Labs]

* Steven M. Parrish maintains a build, see [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Deployment_Team/Fedora_on_the_XO-1#Fedora_for_the_XO-1 more at Sugar Labs]
