EXTREMELY EARLY DRAFT!

New features

  • Fedora 14
  • Sugar 0.92
  • GNOME 2.32
  • Linux 2.6.35.9
  • XO-1 switched from jffs2 to partitioned image: jffs2 boot, ubifs root
  • XO-1.5 switched from ext3 to ext4
  • Old OS images are not retained after olpc-update: http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2010-September/029889.html
  • Activation initramfs split from "run" initramfs (for faster boot)
  • "Run" initramfs slimmed down to 1.9mb (no python in any non-activation bootpath) (for faster boot)
  • Package list trimmed for a smaller image (even though we've likely still grown from the F11 days, as Fedora gets bigger and bigger)
  • Switched from non-Fedora batterymon to batti as GNOME battery monitor
  • New chrome video driver provides multiple Xv surfaces and accelerated graphics in rotated modes
  • default timezone can be specified in build system
  • use update-nand to flash an XO-1
