This page is generic installation instructions activated by template transclusion, and looking at the page like this (and not in Edit) won't help you understand it. The parameters expected are:
- model: MODEL (XO-1, XO-1.5 or XO-1.75, case is significant)
- build: BUILD (which build, e.g., 206)
- ubifs: UBIFS (yes or no)
- signed: SIGNED (yes or no)
- release: RELEASE (which release version this build is intended for, e.g., 10.1.2)
- path: PATH (the path via HTTP to the directory that contains the build file)
It differs from "Sofware Install" in that it is modified for the zd2/zd4/zd8 notation
How to install
build BUILD of release RELEASE on MODEL.
The build is installed to the internal storage device. You will need a USB drive or Secure Digital card of at least 1 GB capacity, but only for the duration of the installation.
ALL USER DATA WILL BE ERASED FROM THE LAPTOP!
- Prepare the USB or SD drive:
- Download [{{{path}}}/os{{{build}}}. os{{{build}}}.], see How to Download,
- Save the file to the top directory of the drive,
- Prepare the laptop:
- Make a copy of any data you wish to keep,

- Check that the power cord is in place and the battery indicator is green,
- Turn off the laptop, unless it is already off,
- Insert the USB drive into any USB port on the laptop,

minutes. Once finished,
