That IS strange. |
|||
The process of updating is easy, though. |
|||
1) Get a USB key with 500mb of free space. |
|||
2) Get the olpc-auto.zip (it's linked on the wiki) and extract it to the USB key |
|||
3) You'll have a "boot" directory there now. Download the stable or |
|||
unstable image (also linked in the wiki). If you want the stable |
|||
right now it's version 653. You'll find a os653.img and os653.crc, |
|||
get both files inside the "boot" directory |
|||
4) Plug the energy cord, turn off the laptop, insert USB key, turn on laptop |
|||
5) It's all automatic, but watch for warnings and that's it |
|||

|||
P.S: I reckon the olpc-auto.zip has an older firmware image. That is |
|||
not a problem, but if you'll want to use the more recent one, you have |
|||
to throw it inside the "boot" folder AND delete the older .rom file |
|||
there. |
