− | Mission:
| + | == Installation == |
− | Create and nurture a community of contributors with knowledge and experience developing for the XO. While raising raise the visibility and importance of the XO within the Sugar community.... without violating upstream/downstream abstraction barriers. Instead the focus will be create an upstream community which evolves into a valuable contributor for OLPC.

| + | * First, ensure that your laptop is [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activation_and_developer_keys unlocked]. |
| + | * Download both <tt>'''osXXXXX.img'''</tt> and <tt>'''osXXXXX.crc'''</tt> to the root directory of a USB stick or SD card. |
| + | * Drop to the "'''ok'''" prompt by pressing [[File:Esc.svg|24px]] (Esc) repeatedly during boot |
| + | * Type the command: {{Code|'''copy-nand u:\osNdx.img'''}} for a USB stick or {{Code|'''copy-nand sd:\osNdx.img'''}} for a SD card followed by [[File:Key_enter.jpg|50px]] (enter) |

− | Long term objective is to create a frequently released (every 6 months) community developed and supported distribution for the XO. This would leave OLPC free to focus on the infrequent, stable releases necessary for mass deployment.
| + | '''See also''' the [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/F11_for_1.5 detailed instructions]. |
| | | |
− | The initial objective will be to:
| + | === XO-1.75 === |
− | 1. Create daily builds | |
− | 1a. Document the process of creating daily builds to lower the barrior of entry for new contributors.
| |
− | 2. Create XooS releases
| |
− | 2a. document the release cycle to lower the barrior of entry for new contributors.
| |
| | | |
− | Please contribute to this page [[XO Operating System/Goals]]. | + | The XO-1.75 is not supported at this time. Please [[Dextrose/Contacts|contact us]] if you are planning to deploy Dextrose on XO-1.75. |
| | | |
| + | === Other netbooks === |
| | | |
− | '''''Would you like to help?'''''... Sugar Labs is entirely volunteer run. Please '''[[/Getting Involved| get involved]]'''.
| + | Please [[Dextrose/Contacts|contact us]] if you need support for running Dextrose on non-XO hardware. |
