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/os302/os302.img os302.img],
**Save the file to the top directory of a USB memory stick,
**Download [http://build.laptop.org/10.1.2/xo-1/os302/os302.crc os302.crc]
**Save the file to the top directory of a USB memory stick,
**Check the USB memory stick contains at least the two files os302.img and os302.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:os302.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]

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.
