OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) project had released XO Laptops for the public
using G1G1 ("Buy 2 Get 1").
One laptop will be sent to the buyer, another laptop will be sent to a child in
developing country.
Unfortunately the XO AMD Geode LX laptops is different from other laptops:
1. There is no BIOS inside the laptop.
2. There is no VGA/EGA/CGA mode.
3. Non standard boot procedure.
4. Nobody knows if it is possible to boot the laptop from external CD-Drive.
5. Ordinary / off-the-shelf OpenSolaris can't run on this laptop. Linux run on
XO with patched/modified kernel.
Is it possible to port OpenSolaris to XO laptops?
Who can do this project?
Thank you.
