Directive0 is a fan and dependent of the OLPC wiki. A Toronto dwelling G1G1 donor, he spends his time learning about the hardware/software side of the OLPC project while endeavoring to increase his knowledge of the Linux/GNU community paradigm. He donated mostly for the interesting tech the XO offered, the fascinating software movement, and the altruistic nature of the program itself.
What follows is a rather rough assemblage of information I often need to find, keeping it here saves me time.
Damage Control Measures
The following tips will allow you to get your XO back the way it was should you manage to mess it up. My best advice would be to get your XO exactly how you want it (All your apps installed, favourite apps in your ring, etc) and then back it up using the below script.
Boot Backup Commands
Backup and Restore
-press esc while booting to enter firmware mode. requires dev-key
Backup to a usb stick
save-nand u:\backup.img
to SD card
save-nand sd:\backup.img
To restore
copy-nand u:\backup.img
Activated Upgrade
You can also use an Activated_Upgrade key to reflash your XO to 656 (a stable build).
Usefull Pages
Amongst the Wiki, I have found the following pages to be of incalculable value. The following items are great if you have just reflashed or are opening your XO for the first time.
Applications
- bert's script will allow you to quickly and simply install the G1G1 application bundle on your new 703 build XO using a network connection and the Terminal.
Browsers
- firefox Is a great browser that will speed up your XO web viewing considerably
Desktop Managers
- xfce is a more traditional desktop manager that will behave much more like OSX/Win32 then Sugar.
External Sites of great informative value
- Catmoran's OLPC Site is a great place to get acquainted with the terminal and how you can use it to change your XO experience.
More about me
These are links that are focused on my interests outside of the OLPC initiative.
