the quickest, surest path is use yumdownloader --resolve to grab all
the rpms, and have them on a USB stick. Steps were discussed on this
same email threads. I can't think of an easier path for a small to
moderate number of units.
You could build an OS image, set it up on the XS for auto-installation
on the XOs, and run olpc-update. But there's a sizable amount of prep
in that, so unless you prepped it all back when you prepped the OS
image they have _now_, you end up still needing to mess with each
laptop.
In the end, you only need to say "sudo rpm -Uvh *rpm" on each unit.
cheers,
