Bert's script

As of Update.1, we'll have separated the operating system updates from the activity updates, which may initially give the appearance of activities disappearing. The "customization key" process (See Customization key) is intended to facilitate customization of activities; also Bert Freudenberg has written a script to install the default set of activities:

     http://dev.laptop.org/~bert/update-activities.py

Getting the activities back is then as simple as:

su - olpc
wget dev.laptop.org/~bert/update-activities.py
python update-activities.py

...which works from the ctrl-alt- console.
