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]]'''. |

{{Latest Releases | rc = inline | firmware = inline | server = inline }} |

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]]. |
|||
See draft [[Release_notes/10.1.2|10.1.2 release notes]] for work completed so far. |
|||
OLPC will usually not sign the build images until they are ready for release as stable builds. Until then, installation requires an unlocked laptop and the instructions below. |
|||
== Installation of Development Build == |
|||
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:os301.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] |
