Instructions for experts:
------------
either:
  copy-nand u:\soas??xo.img
or: (2g or larger removable)
  cat soas??xo.4gremovable.tar.lzma | lzma -dc - | tar xf - -O > /dev/sdX
or: (4g or larger removable)
  cat soas??xo.2gremovable.tar.lzma | lzma -dc - | tar xf - -O > /dev/sdX


Quick Start for normal people:
-------------

Create a removable drive with Sugar for use on your XO.

You need to have an unlocked XO first.  See instructions here for
unlocking:

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activation_and_Developer_Keys#Disable_the_security_system

1) Download the right sized-image:

2) "burn" it onto your removable media (USB stick / SD card).

**** THIS WILL ERASE EVERYTHING ON YOUR REMOVABLE DRIVE ****

Either:

 cat soasxo??.4gremovable.tar.lzma | lzma -dc - | tar xf - -O > /dev/sdX

or:

 cat soasxo??.2gremovable.tar.lzma | lzma -dc - | tar xf - -O > /dev/sdX

Replace the "??" with the right filename, and replace the "/dev/sdX"
with the name of your removable device (the _whole device_, NOT a
partition like /dev/sda1)

3) When this is done, eject the device and be sure all data were
   written:

 eject /dev/sdX ; sync ; sync

4) Plug the stick/card into your XO-1 and power it on.



Replace your XO operating system
-------------

There is another way - you can replace your XO's operating system:

**** THIS WILL ERASE EVERYTHING ON YOUR XO laptop ****

1) Download the latest files:

soas??xo.img
soas??xo.crc

2) Copy it to a removable drive

3) Plug in your removable drive and press "Esc" after powering up your
XO.

4a) If your removable drive is a USB drive, type:

copy-nand u:\soas??xo.img

4b) If your removable drive is a SD card, type:

copy-nand sd:\soas??xo.img

5) When the process completes, remove your drive and reboot the XO.
