I appreciate your constructive comments.<br>
<br>
I am sorry that he responded to an offer of help with a derogatory
statements addressed at me and indeed, I need to learn to ignore
them.<br>
<br>
James is on 13.2.7, I am on 13.2.5. There is nothing that can be
done about that until this summer. I do have an XO-1 with an early
release of what was then called Sugar (now OLPC OS, I suppose). With
an SD card image, I could compare the performance of the two. If
James supplied the image, I suspect he would be more confident of
the results than if it was dependent on my manual patches.<br>
<br>
James seems perpetually concerned that I am not using the latest
release (my XO-1 is recycled from a user who was using in 2015
software from 2008, not untypical in the field). Unlike oplc/sugar,
my cycle is at best, annual. As he must limit his commitments based
on the demands on his time, so must I.<br>
<br>
Just to repeat: I accept the images from olpc/sugarlabs, modify them
to meet the perceived needs of the deployments I am working with, <br>
and install them on the local laptops and school server. I am not a
developer. I am a client. If there is community interest in what I
am doing, I am happy to share. <br>

Hi, Dave<br>
<br>
I couldn't agree more. I offered to help support a test James
requested. His response was an attack on me. It is really hard
to keep focus on the <br>
positive underlying discussions. Again, I should have applied
the 24hour rule. I apologize.</blockquote>

<div>Tony, you should apply the 24 hour rule again before you
call James's response an "attack".</div>

<div>Anyway, I think that James was trying to inform you about
the wonder that is a patch. Creating, uploading, dowloading
and imaging is a hard thing. Applying a patch is something
that can be done with "curl" and then "patch -p1" or the
similar. If you want to be even fancier, you can build and
distribute an rpm. I don't know too much about deployments,
but if running a command is harder than installing an image, I
think you might want to investigate some better tooling.</div>

<div>Thanks,</div>

In this case the need for an image is also specific. By having
an image on an SD card, my XO-1 can retain its early installed
release for comparison with the sd card install.<br>
