If we can make sure /boot is mounted, a symlink -- will do :-) The

My understanding is that mesh is not currently supported in the
WLAN firmware for the new chips. I am not sure what the plan of
action is in regards to mesh support for 1.5.

Hello pals, some time ago I did some research on the behavior from the XO in
places with more than one access point with the same SSID, and the results
from this test weren't much god. As some of you may remember basically what
my study said was that the connection jumps from one AP to another too

Tomeu,
Thank you so much. We appreciate your wonderful support as always.
We have been working on localizing Deducto and Color Deducto to Spanish, and
will be sending the Spanish po file to olpc-sur for review within this week.
We have made some revisions to Deducto and Color Deducto based on the

Is it possible to save and retrieve files from an XO to an XS server. I guess
it would be similar to a network folder in windows that can be accessed by any
XO.

Tomeu,
Mikus reported an interesting bug on both the XO-1 and XO-1.5 running F11 -
Color Deducto activity comes up without color. Please find the logs attached

Wish if you could suggest pointers to debug this issue.
Thank you.

So mesh networking is going away in favor of ad-hocs? If so, why?
Hasn't mesh proved useful in deployments?

No, it hasn't. We actively discourage anyone from using it, and I'm
not aware of any successful applications of it except in test and

G'day Tabitha,
I think I can relax you a bit ... there seems to have been a minor
