Fixed for os851. Don't confuse the os851.usb files between XO-1 and XO-1.5 though, since the laptop will gladly upgrade to a kernel that won't boot properly. > I thought olpc-update has to be performed as root, but release notes > don't say `sudo olpc-update...` Fixed. > Someone inserted a /* Warning */ at the top of the Olpc-update page > about activities that conflicts with what > http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Release_notes/10.1.2#Upgrade says.

Takes about 350Mb, but it is not practical to explain exactly how much space is required, since it depends on too many factors (other previous olpc-updates in particular). Yes, if there's not enough room it stops, and after clearing some room it can be asked to continue from where it left off. > If a USB olpc-update isn't possible, I'll have to flash my XO-1 and > lose my work.
