A related question. I'll try to phrase this delicately -- what's the relationship between Walter's Sugar 100 build and the latest OLPC kernel? Can I safely assume that SugarLabs is the current keeper of the flame and has all the latest hardware-support bits (I hope so!). Gonzalo pointed me to a

Thanks! I forwarded everyone's responses on to Douglas, with pithy descriptions of who you all are and the exciting things you do and countries you live in, to give him a taste of the broader OLPC community. I'll probably install the latest image on his machine in the next few weeks, and I'll

Paul is right, the startup sound volume is only controlled by the firmware, and the easiest opportunity is at the time it plays. Can also stick ear plugs in socket. See http://wiki.laptop.org/go/On_Music ;-) The Scratch, freezes, and touchscreen vs mouse exclusivity remind me of an early
