I've been playing around with this for a while but a couple of
questions have come up which I can't resolve:
1. In the XS-rsync document on the olpc wiki it mentions:
~ With a USB stick, for a headless XO ~
What is a headless XO?
2. Run `xs-refresh-xobuildlist --rebuildconfig` - when I try this
Would be interesting to know more on Uruguay's Debian based XS.. any links?
Besides, if I remember correctly, I guess Tony Pearson was also part of
that team or maybe not. I have mixed feelings about the current XS
builds, guess I'd have preferred the XS being a lot more efficient and
to run ou

Hi all,
Firstly thanks for all the feedback. I want to ensure everyone knows this
isn't about undermining the great work already done on Fedora, but rather it
about I guess scratching an itch that a few people have. I think that where
possible we post the existing XS packages so that people can ha
Well, I received the AA's. As a quick test I plugged them into my F9
box, after using the olpc ifcfg-files as a template, with very little
fiddling I think I have them running under F9. I'll post the diff later.
More testing when the xo gets here, or my friend with a laptop.
What does need work
Hi all
For the porting efforts people can begin packaging the different software
tools, provided by the XS, without waiting for all the OS support.
For example the upgrade server was originally developed for debian.

Just a though. :).

Hello,
Fedora supports powerpc, right?! May I suggest that the XS folks
first get the base software working and then worry about the Linux
distribution. I just don't believe that at this stage it really much
matters whether its Fedora, Ubuntu, or whatever.
Btw., I am just an XS list obser
Hi all,
One more argument for a debian based XS: Debian supports various non-x86
architectures, which are good candidates for a compact, affordable, and low
power XS server:
- The mipsel based fuloong mini ( http://www.lemote.com/english/fuloong.html )
engineered by the chinese Jiangsu Lemote Tec
You can count me in on that... I've been pushing for debian or ubuntu
to be the XS platform for a while, and I know Martin Langhoff sort of
feels the same way... but since so much work has already been done on
Fedora, we should see how feasable it is to make 2 concurrent XS
rollouts... but yeah it
