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

 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.
