<p class=MsoNormal>Apologies if this has been explored before, I have not been
able to stay current. I am posting on both Sugar and OLPC dev lists.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I live in Solomon Islands, where we have very poor Internet
access and downloading is affected by satellite latency etc.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I just tried to install the latest stable for XO1,
advertised as 883 / 11.3.0 on one of my few XO-1s. I have not had access to any
higher versions of the XO and am working with a programme in PNG which has
XO-1s.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I downloaded the image (BTW in Solomon Islands that cost me
USD 85) using a download manager Star Downloader (to protect me against
Internet drop outs). It downloaded with no errors reported. I then tried to install
on my XO using a flashdrive as per the usual 4-game key method.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>On first attempt it failed during the part where you see the
progress indicated graphically with the memory grid in green yellow and black.
It says:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>4ce Bad hash for eblock# 4ca<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Your USB key may be bad...please see
http:/wiki.laptop.org/go/Bad_hash <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The diagnosis is that it’s either bad flashdrive or
bad download. I tried 2 other flashdrives that have successfully been used
before, and same result at same place.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>So i conclude I have just thrown USD 85 down the toilet.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Can anyone with similar or relevant experience comment. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
