Hi Jonas, Siri, Laura, and anyone else interested in the Huayruro
Project [1],<br>
It has come to my attention that some work has been achieved to
build installable images of Debian on XO laptops.<br>
Since we have not heard again from Intel or had news about new
laptops, perhaps it would be smart to redirect efforts towards
squeezing value out of the deployed XO base?<br>
<br>
I am downloading the image and will be looking into the build
process.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Sebastian<br>

<div dir="ltr">I also was pleased with debian on an xo1.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I modified os-builder(1), and have successfully built an
xo1 image with xfce desktop(2), and an xo1.5 image with mate
desktop(3).
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am currently looking for ways to use debian multistrap
to build an xo4 image, but I don't have a cookbook similar
to the one that I found most helpful(4). I'm thinking that
I'll need to learn to use qemu.</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Whether this work is ready for prime time, I'm not sure.
But I'm eager to kick the can down the road and will be glad
to incorporate improvements. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>At the moment, both images can be installed to an SD card
(in an xo1.5) using devalias/fs-update(5). The images were
built with a user/password of olpc/olpc, and root password of:
olpc. I think autologin needs to be enabled, and perhaps a few
other things.</div>

some more testing of the XO-1 with Debian on it, I'm quite<br>

If a build can be automated, so that it is easily
reproducible, I'd<br>
be happy to upload and sign it for installs.<br>
