[IAEP] [support-gang] reviving XO-1 OS builds, as the XO-1.5 release approaches...

[Caryl Bigenho]

Hi All,


Last month there was a thread about SoaS for the XO-1 on the IAEP list.  I haven't tried it yet, but it may turn out to be an answer to the problem of getting the XO-1 updated with the latest stuff from SugarLabs.  


If you missed the discussion, you can read the thread in the IAEP Archives.  It is lengthy, but seems to start here:

There were a lot of issues and it evidently pretty well wipes out everything on the XO.  That is why I always email anything I really want to keep to myself and let Hotmail save it for me. 


This seems like something worth pursuing.  If deployments could update to the new software for the mere cost of USB sticks it would be wonderful.  Much better than the Mac folks left with Power PCs that won't run a lot of the new stuff that only the newer Intel Macs will run.


I might have time to try it now that the grandkids have left.  It has been a very busy 2 weeks!
