That IS strange.

The process of updating is easy, though.

1) Get a USB key with 500mb of free space. 2) Get the olpc-auto.zip (it's linked on the wiki) and extract it to the USB key 3) You'll have a "boot" directory there now. Download the stable or unstable image (also linked in the wiki). If you want the stable right now it's version 653. You'll find a os653.img and os653.crc, get both files inside the "boot" directory 4) Plug the energy cord, turn off the laptop, insert USB key, turn on laptop 5) It's all automatic, but watch for warnings and that's it

-Ivo

P.S: I reckon the olpc-auto.zip has an older firmware image. That is not a problem, but if you'll want to use the more recent one, you have to throw it inside the "boot" folder AND delete the older .rom file there.
