==== Fedora on an OLPC XO ====

On an OLPC XO-1 laptop, run olpc-update as root.

Normally you only need to run ''olpc-update'' in the Terminal application with a build number, like this:

# sudo olpc-update 767

'''Note:''' Now you can do this by means of the graphical [[olpc:Sugar Control Panel|Sugar Control Panel]].

====Joyride====
See [[OLPC:Future releases]], the Joyride train is in the round house.

<big><font color=red>Joyride is for developers; it is not supported. Joyride builds may cause data corruption and in rare cases, even cause hardware damage, so please do not use Joyride on mission-critical systems.</font></big>

Joyride contains all the "bleeding-edge" features that are being debugged for inclusion in the next release.

Open the Terminal application and type the following, substituting 2469 for the latest version number.

# olpc-update joyride-2469

'''What's the latest version?''' You can find the latest build number (shown above as 1779) at the bottom of http://xs-dev.laptop.org/~cscott/xo-1/streams/joyride/

Updates usually takes 10–15 minutes. It's advised that you plug your XO in while Sugar updates itself, then reboot it to see the new OS take effect.

==== Other Options ====

These are options that can be used with the update command:

# olpc-update --help
<pre><nowiki>
Usage:
olpc-update [options] --hints hints-file
olpc-update [options] [-rf] build-number
olpc-update [options] [-rf] --usb
olpc-update --version
olpc-update --help

For example:
olpc-update 630
olpc-update joyride-1779
olpc-update update.1-700

Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-f, --full skip incremental update attempt.
--force force update to an unsigned build.
-r, --reboot reboot after a successful update.
--hints=FILE name of json-encoded hints dictionary identifying the desired
new version.
-u, --usb upgrade from new build on inserted USB stick.
-v display verbose progress information; repeat for more verbose
output.
-q, --quiet don't output anything; use exit status to indicate success.
--version display version and license information.
</nowiki></pre>
