mkdir /home/olpc/.ssh/
cd /home/olpc/.ssh/
cp /media/KINGSTON/id_dsa.pub ./authorized_keys # ONLY DO THIS IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST KEY
chmod 700 .
chmod 600 authorized_keys
ifconfig (get IP)

ON YOUR MAC:

ssh olpc@IPaddress (no password should be necessary)

From Erik Garrison by way of Mike Stone:

Add these to ~/.ssh/config
  ControlMaster auto
  ControlPath ~/.ssh/master-%r@%h:%p

Also nice, download MacFusion. Use MacFusion's SSH file system function to mount your XO as a logical drive.
