Spent about a week on the DC Lending Library machines, doing setup,
Unpacking with ACC students:
Get developer keys
(not sure why want to disable some of this stuff,
as could control return time by bricking it/ lease use...)
Collecting information with supplied USB Key LAPTOP.DAT
Give to Jeff to send for Activiation / Developer Keys
wait days...
Escape out of boot, in Firmware Console
disable-security reboots disable-security
Upgrade firmware and activities
As root in Terminal
found /usr/sbin/olpc-update was required on older shipped machines build 656
/usr/sbin/olpc-update -frvv 802 (student discovered the 767 build was not the latest)
-f full update, as incremental was restarting on file conflicts -vv verbose x2 gives file names directories and bytes/ speedups and much easier to tell what it's doing -r reboot after completes
Wait for maybe 30 minutes? depending on how many at once, server speed, etc...
Enter information into docs.google.com spreadsheet Jeff is developing. Suggest some changes to the spreadsheet, freeze titles as gets longer, notes on where to get color descriptions, suggest email form interface but...
Troubleshoot
Delivered to storage area.
