Cool. Looks like quite a bit of invested time
required if anyone wants
to use this ...
???
could you clarify on the time investment?
You just need to expand the tarball in an ext2/3 formated stick that should either have a
specific label or edit the olpc.fth with the stick label.
Is this the time investment you are referring to or I miss something else?
Recommendations for "less involved" installation? (I do not like dd variants as
it may ruin the media)
I suggest you always include the steps to
use in a
release, rather than referring to steps in a previous
release.

No plans that I'm aware of.
