hello all,
I just installed candidate-25 of 8.2.1, and while it works flawlessly
in my limited testing, DebXO doesn't like prettyboot. I've tried
creating an initscript to echo 0 to /sys/devices/platform/dcon/freeze,
locating it in /etc/init.d, and creating an appropriately named
symlink in /etc/

Unfortunately, the OLPC has Network Manager, which "knows better".
[I *have* been able to use ifconfig to assign a _mesh_ address on a
F10 Joyride (which otherwise has mesh support broken).]

Paul, for your purposes you may be better off using one of the 'normal'
linux distros on the XO laptop.
then programming would be just the same as on any other linux box, and the

To perform power measurements reliably you need to instrument with a
good quality physical voltmeter and ammeter.
