Talk:Release notes/10.1.2

Add Mac-specific Instructions

Hi..

I suggest you incorporate some of the features of the old "No Fail" update, especially the Mac-specific instructions for downloading directly to the usb drive. -- Caryl

Thanks Caryl, but there's no need at this stage. Once 10.1.2 is released, we'll edit the "No Fail" update instructions to use the 10.1.2 links, and add XO-1.5 support. The installation instructions in the Release notes pages are for a different readership, and I'd prefer them to be succinct. I do think that some of the "No Fail" update steps could go into specific Wiki transcluded template pages, like "How to download a large file reliably on various operating systems". -- Quozl 01:56, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi James,

I was going to do a simple edit to prevent the problems I had with the update, but the text is hidden in another place that I am told does not exist when I try to go there. So... here are my suggestions for small changes to the instructions for both the XO-1 and XO-1.5:

Where it says: ▪ Download os851.img.fs.zip, ▪ Save the file to the top directory of a USB memory stick, ▪ Rename the file to fs.zip,

Change the third line to: ▪ Download os851.img.fs.zip, ▪ Save the file to the top directory of a USB memory stick, ▪ Rename the file to fs.zip, (just fs.zip nothing else)
