Talk:Release notes/8.1.0

Hoping that "be bold" applies here as it does at Wikipedia, I added two notes to the recommended procedures. But I don't really have a clue, so I hope someone who does will review my changes.

In the first step, I said:

(Note that the "boot" directory will contain two zip files, actos.zip and runos.zip. This is normal; these files do not need to be unzipped).

I was concerned that maybe I needed to do a recursive unzip or some such thing, but Dave Wallace said it's normal for the files to be zipped and the update seemed to work, so I trust this advice is, at worst, "mostly harmless."

In the last step, after "Remove the USB flash drive," in my case it said it needed to do a firmware update and then complained because it wasn't connected to AC power and shut down. So I added: "Connect the XO to AC power, so that it will be able to proceed if it determines that a firmware update is needed." I figure this advice, too, should be at worst "mostly harmless."

Battery Issue

(Has anyone else experienced this?) When the battery was drained fully and plugged in again, the yellow/orange light appeared correctly. However, when turned on, the battery indicator on the screen was an empty outline and read "Fully Charged". The yellow/orange light stayed on. When unplugged, the laptop would shut down. Reverting back to 656 fixed this problem.
