Tap-to-click Persistent for older CL1/CL1A - edit the following file; to turn on set the param =1 or off =0

/etc/modprobe.d/olpc.psmouse.conf

Tap-to-click Non-Persistent for newer CL1A - to turn ON

Adopt authority/permissions hint

add the NOPASSWD option in /etc/sudoers just for the scripts/commands you need

Sample yum syntax

For download only of yum updates to an External USB Volume PATRIOT with subdirectory called UpdateRpms

yum update --downloadonly --nogpgcheck --downloaddir=/media/PATRIOT/UpdateRpms

For installing rpms from a USB volume PATRIOT with subdirectory called UpdateRpms and no internet access

yum localinstall --nogpgcheck --disablerepo=* /media/PATRIOT/UpdateRpms/*.rpm

Install bad and ugly gstreamer files to USB

For download only of rpm's to an External USB Volume PATRIOT with subdirectory called Guvcview. This will alter the repos used for subsequent Updates, so delete rpmfusion repos later if you wish

yum install --nogpgcheck \

http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
