I found the kernel rpm and source rpm at:

   http://dev.laptop.org/~kernels/olpc-2.6.31-xo1/kernel-2.6.31_xo1-20101119.1249.1.olpc.3781c4e5eac361a.i586.rpm
   http://dev.laptop.org/~kernels/olpc-2.6.31-xo1/kernel-2.6.31_xo1-20101119.1249.1.olpc.3781c4e5eac361a.src.rpm

now I'm looking for the X11 stuff.  Still don't
know what I'm doing but the progress seems to
be forward...
