This document outlines antitheft-related procedures.


Prepare an XO as the Master Keysigning Server (MKS)

  1. Grab an XO, with the standard OS image. These notes are based on XO OS 8.2.1, but should work on future versions.

DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT


  1. - define which XOs / boxes will be sent to the school you are planning...
  2. - open spreadsheet in OpenOffice Calc or similar
  3. - find them in the spreadsheet
  4. - make a new page in the existing spreadsheet - give that page the

name of the school

  1. - copy/paste the SN/UUID region to the new page, remove the "extra"

columns we don't need. Also make sure you don't include the 'column headers' row.

  1. - Save the document
  2. - Make sure you are on the spreadsheet page for the right school
  3. - Now use the "File->Save As..." menu option to create a new file.

The file format must be CSV. The file name must be the name of the school.

  1. - Accept the defaults. OpenOffice will warn you that it is only

exporting the 'current page'. Perfect, that's _exactly_ what we want
