How to clean-install

  1. Install
    • Download the OS image and its signatures file to your local computer. DO NOT open them. P.S. If your computer runs on MS Windows, point your cursor on the link, click the right mouse button and choose "Save Link Target As".
    • Copy these files onto of a clean (Full (not Quick!) formatted) USB memory stick. Your USB memory stick should now contain two files named: en708-1.img and fs.zip.
    • Unmount the USB memory stick and disconnect it from your computer when it is safe to do so.
    • Shut down your XO laptop. Insert the USB stick into the XO Laptop and power up while holding the four game keys. (this is VERY important!)
    • Release game keys when it asks you to. It will take a few minutes to rewrite the memory.
  2. Reboot.
  3. Check that you have the correct build:
    • Hover over the XO in the Home screen and click on 'About my XO'
    • It should say build Update.1 708, firmware Q2D16
