Customizing the XO

See Logistics first. Basic customization is covered there.

Customizing Build

1. Install os image 703 from Forth prompt copy-nand u:\os703.img --> you must have os703.img and os703.crc on your USB key
2. Power off
3. Insert USB key that has Customization Key v2 installed on it
4. Hold down X game key then turn on the XO
5. Release the game key when prompted to do so
6. The Activity pack should install itself and then power off
7. Boot up and make your changes, such as installing rpms
8. When done, delete the user-specific changes you have made
   • rm -r /home/olpc.sugar/default
   • rm /var/lib/dbus/machine-id
   • There may be other machine-specific settings that I am not aware of but should be deleted
9. Reboot
10. Go to the Forth prompt and type save-nand u:\os703-b1.img, this will also generate a u:\os703-b1.crc file
11. Clone other XO's using these two files

We need a list of activities we are going to use.
Testing of the activities with the build we are going to use.

Adding Nepali to Speak Activity

1. Install the latest espeak in your desktop
2. Copy the folder "espeak-data" to /usr/share/ directory in the XO
3. Add the line "translator hi" at the end of this file "/usr/share/espeak-data/voices/ne"

Additional Customization

• Install the Language Pack
• Install the script.

Essential RPM's

RPM's to display man pages

• Install groff-1.18.***.i386
• Install man-1.6f-***.i386
• copy /etc/man.config from linux machine to xo under same location
• Copy Man folder /usr/share/man into into xo

Flash 9

• rpm -ivh <flash-plugin-rpm-name>.rpm

Gnuchess

• rm /usr/games/gnuchess -- for some reason there appears to be a symbolic link here by default that causes problems
• cp /usr/bin/gnuchess /usr/games/ note: for whatever reason, ln -s /usr/bin/gnuchess /usr/games doesn't work
